Abstract

This paper deals with the design and implementation of communications strategies for the migration to distributed-memory, MIMD machines of an industrial crashworthiness simulation program, PAM-CRASH, using message-passing. A summary of the algorithmic features and parallelization approach is followed by a discussion of options to minimize overheads introduced by the need for global communication. Implementation issues will be specific to the portable message-passing interfaces PARMACS and PVM, together with future possibilities offered by the MPI standard.
