Computational Fluid Dynamics: Algorithms and Supercomputers

Abstract : Cost-effective vectorization of fluid dynamic codes, in particular the Navier/Stokes Code, is covered relative to the supercomputer architecture. Subjects include current supercomputer architecture; minisupercomputers; impact of hardware on computing; software migration issues; benchmarking; guidelines on Fortran vectorization at the do-loop level; restructuring of basic linear algebra algorithms; and restructuring guidelines for basic fluid dynamic codes. A glossary of supercomputing terms is given in the Appendix.
