North Holland Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics '99 - North Holland

Explore the evolution of high-performance computing with Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics '99. This volume brings together research from over 50 experts across Asia, Europe, and North America to discuss the state of parallel CFD architecture and methods. Readers gain insight into the transition toward teraflops-scale computing and the specific challenges of modern hardware. The text addresses the shift in focus from simple parallelism to the complexities of achieving high per-node performance on fast-clocked commodity processors with cache-based memory systems. This collection provides a detailed look at major technical developments, including the use of up to 2048 processors for implicit computations. It also examines the growing potential of Lattice-Boltzmann computations within the field of CFD. This book serves as a technical record of the advancements and novel formulations that shaped computational fluid dynamics during this era.
