At present time I'm doing parallel version of russian-french research code NOISETTE
This code is for 2d CFD problems and it uses triangular non-structured meshes and hi-order explicit schemes.
I've already tried to run parallel version on a cluster and achieved acceleration of 7 times on 8 CPU.
I'd been doing a university diploma work during 4th and 5th years of study.
I was upgrading 2D sequential CFD code into 3D parallel code. Finally 3D parallel version passed a set of tests and
a computation on big mesh was executed. Mesh size was160х160х160 (4 millions of control volumes)
Results showed not so nice turbulent picture as I expected. I didn't know why but I didn't give a fuck for
I had already obtained university diploma at the time when computations were done :)
Cluster is made of 6 dual-CPU nodes connected via 100Mbit fast ethernet network. Each node has 1Gb of RAM.
Node is just a common computer without body and other useless stuff
This cluster has an original design: computer parts like dual-CPU motherboards, HDDs and so on are put on a shells of a rack.
Xeon cluster
50 CPUs Pentium 4 Xeon
Cluster is made of dual-CPU nodes connected via 1Gbit network.
Each node is a powerful rackmount server with 2Gb of RAM.
