Software Framework UG: Parallel Simulation of a Three-Dimensional Benchmark Problem for Thermohaline-Driven Flow

  • Conference paper
Book cover High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering '10

Abstract

\(\mathcal{UG}\) (Bastian et al. 1997) is a software framework for the numerical solution of problems that are described by systems of partial differential equations. It provides functionality for unstructured grids , adaptive local grid refinement, robust multigrid methods for the solution of systems of linear equations, and parallelization of all these algorithms on MIMD-style computers. In this contribution, we present results of an application built upon \(\mathcal{UG}\) , a finite-volume simulator for thermohaline-driven flow called d 3 f (Fein 1998), on HLRS’ Nehalem cluster.
