Summary

At BMW the main production code for 3-dimensional fluid flow simulations is currently ported to a massive parallel processing (MPP) computer system with distributed memory. Special emphasis has been taken to integrate the MPP system seamlessly in the productive computer aided engineering (CAE) environment at BMW. Several decomposition algorithms and hidden communication have been introduced to minimize overhead compared to serial computers. Production jobs using already ported functionalities of the code are submitted to the MPP via nQS (nCUBE Queueing System) in a multiuser batch environment.
