I will introduce the finite difference method,
the most frequently used technique for simulations
of partial differential equations. Parallelization
of the method in two dimensional space
will be discussed. Recent results
obtained using this method for study of externally
forced limit cycle oscillators will be demonstrated.
A new type of pattern in reaction diffusion systems
called cellular train, and nowel type of instability
of front solution will be presented.
