Massively Parallel Computation of the Euler Equations

Abstract

We present a systematic study of the applicability of massively parallel computers, the AMT DAP-510/610 and the TMC CM-2, to the solution of the two-dimensional unsteady Euler equa tions using a compact high-order scheme. The performance of these machines is compared to that of the Cray-2 and the Cray-YMP/832 using the same algorithm and for the same test problem.
