The CFD Group has been involved with parallel processing and
facility development for a number of years in its pursuit of tackling
real engineering problems in aerodynamics. An in-house
developed code for solving the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations,
PMB (parallel multiblock), has been developed by the Group for
implementation on distributed memory parallel computing
environments. During the code development, the group has used
clustered UNIX workstation and PC clusters, that it has developed,
as well national parallel computing facilities. The components of
the Beowulf clusters developed have been chosen on
cost/performance and appropriateness for the applications. The
talk will emphasise the experience on the use of its latest Beowulf
facility, involving 32 750MHz AMD Athlon PCs with 16 GB overall
memory, to tackle some industry based problems.
