Design costs have been driven upward by mathematical models that require multiple levels of interactive analysis and utilize time consuming convergence criteria that further drive computing and design costs upward. To reduce CPU time and memory limitations, an effective real time parallelization (RTP) of the solution is introduced. Recursive Internal Partitioning (RIP) is used to partition the entire domain into subdomains with one or more subdomains being assigned to each independent processor. The Alpha STAR multifrontal algorithm (AMF) is implemented to assemble, condense, and solve for the unknowns at all finite element nodes. A multi level optimization technique is utilized to speed up the simulation processing time of the diversified field of specialized analysis techniques and mathematical models. These models require hierarchical multiple levels of interactive analysis utilizing time consuming convergence. The generic high speed civil transport (hsct) model is used to demonstrate the large scale computing capability. Results of multicriteria optimization indicate an order of magnitude reduction in computing time. Numerical solutions as well as physical phenomena are discussed and recommendations are provided for future solutions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100325,"journal":{"name":"Computing Systems in Engineering","volume":"6 6","pages":"Pages 577-586"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0956-0521(95)00020-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74117711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An object-oriented parallel portability interface for message-passing operations has been designed and implemented. An existing object-oriented matrix library is currently being extended to support the management of distributed matrix data and parallel solution of linear systems of algebraic equations. By taking advantage of C++ object-oriented programming, both the class libraries provide clean and consistent user interfaces, which not only help to improve the clarity and expressiveness of the client parallel codes, but also hide implementation details and complexity from the user to ease parallel programming tasks. In this paper, the object-oriented design and implementation of the class libraries are discussed. The libraries were first developed and tested using a network of Sun SPARC 10 workstations. Application examples were then studied on two commercial parallel computers: the IBM SP1 and the Intel Paragon XP/S 10, for evaluation of the portability and efficiency of the present class libraries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100325,"journal":{"name":"Computing Systems in Engineering","volume":"6 6","pages":"Pages 533-548"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0956-0521(95)00023-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82480992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By taking advantage of recent advances in computational science and instability theory for compressible flows, we have formulated an approach to this problem that combines parabolized stability equation (PSE) methodology with spatial direct numerical simulation (DNS). The relatively inexpensive PSE method is used to explore the parameter space, to compute the early (weakly and moderately nonlinear) stages of laminar breakdown, and to provide inflow conditions for the spatial DNS, which is then used to compute the highly nonlinear laminar-breakdown stage. The approach is made feasible by an accurate and efficient DNS algorithm, which has been implemented in parallel on a CRAY C90 supercomputer. The design of the DNS algorithm is discussed in detail, with emphasis on factors that affect both accuracy and efficiency. The method is applied to the investigation of the laminar breakdown of the boundary layer on an axisymmetric sharp cone in Mach 8 flow. Techniques for analysis of the resulting data are also addressed, including novel computational flow imaging procedures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100325,"journal":{"name":"Computing Systems in Engineering","volume":"6 6","pages":"Pages 563-575"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0956-0521(95)00057-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85108527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
