Abstract

Present research and development in aerospace science disclose the strong need for more computing power and not least memory. Traditional super vector computers more and more reach physical limitations and are increasingly expensive. A different approach to obtain more computing power and storage has been the development of multiprocessors systems with powerful RISC processors.

The aim of this work is the parallelization of an industrial three-dimensional Navier-Stokes program with the object to achieve an efficiency of at least 0.8 on a distributed memory computer with more than 64 processors.
