Abstract
This paper describes the parallelisation of the industrial CFD code Music. The parallel code is based on spatial decomposition of the physical simulation domain. The artificial subdomains are distributed over a set of processors that interacts via message passing. Porting of the Music framework involves distribution of data and all major tasks except for i/o. Time measurements from cluster of workstations, demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the parallel code.
