Abstract
The design of a simulator for training personnel in ship manoevering or flying airplanes is considered. The mathematical problem is the solution of systems of DAE's and the real time update of systems variables and environment is requiring substantial computer resources. The implementation of simulators in a cluster computing environment using PVM opens the possibilities of meeting the requirements. Tests have been carried out in a cluster of 8 work stations connected as a FDDI-ring.
