seems like it would require some nontrivial physics, not to mention
realistic input data.  don't most climate codes also depend on huge
multi-dimensional FFT's where the transpose is coded as all-to-all?

here's an alternative: nbody physics.  just put a bunch of particles in some
empty space and see what they do as they interact through gravity.  of
course, gravity is all-to-all, but then again in a nontrivial sense, less 
coupled problems are less interesting...
