Hybrid MPI-OpenMP performance in massively parallel computational fluid dynamics

  • 1998 Accesses

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering book series (LNCSE,volume 74)

Abstract

We analyze in this paper the parallel performance of a computational mechanics code, based on a hybrid MPI-OpenMP parallelization. The specific problems considered are an explicit compressible flow solver and an implicit incompressible flow solver. Their performance using a fully MPI approach and a Hybrid approach are compared. The performance obtained on different architextures are also compared.

Keywords

  • Parallel Performance
  • Subgrid Scale
  • Parallelization Strategy
  • Equal Order Interpolation
  • Pressure Segregation

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
