Study on the Numerical Simulation of Explosion and Impact Processes Using PC Cluster System

Parallel computing has been applied in many fields, and the parallel computing platform system, PC cluster based on MPI (Message Passing Interface) library under Linux operating system is a cost-effectiveness approach to parallel compute. In this paper, the key algorithm of parallel program of explosion and impact is presented. The techniques of solving data dependence and realizing communication between subdomain are proposed. From the test of program, the portability of MMIC-3D parallel program is satisfied, and compared with the single computer, PC cluster can improve the calculation speed and enlarge the scale greatly.
