Abstract
The paper describes different methods of performance optimization of serial and parallel algorithms for modern superscalar RISC processor based computers. The limitations imposed on the performance by hierarchical organization of computer memories are discussed, followed by the comparative performance analysis of different computers and their architectural peculiarities. Finally the parallelization aspects of the solution of 3-dimensional CFD problems are considered, along with the comparison of communication characteristics of parallel computers.
