NOVEL HPC CONSIDERATIONS FOR ADVANCED CFD

This paper examines the current state of scalable CFD for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters at industry-scale, and provides a review of novel technologies that can enable additional levels of CFD parallelism beyond today’s conventional approach. Recent trends in HPC offer opportunities for CFD solution performance increases from the use of parallel file systems for parallel I/O, and a second level of solver parallelism through hybrid CPU-GPU co-processing.
