Riassunto
This book contains the course notes of the Summerschool on High Performance Computing in Fluid Dynamics, held at the Delft University of Technology, June 24-28, 1996. The lectures presented deal to a large extent with algorithmic, programming and implementation issues, as well as experiences gained so far on parallel platforms. Attention is also given to mathematics aspects, notably domain decomposition and scalable algorithms. Topics considered are: basic concepts of parallel computers, parallelization strategies, programming aspects, parallel algorithms, applications in computational fluid dynamics, the present hardware situation and developments to be expected. The book is addressed to students on a graduate level and researchers in industry engaged in scientific computing, who have little or no experience with high performance computing, but who want to learn more, and/or want to port their code to parallel platforms. It is a good starting point for those who want to enter the field of high performance computing, especially if applications in fluid dynamics are envisaged.
