PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND
STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
 Many of the panel members are now in the process
of addressing complicated multi-physics problems
be it for ship, rotorcraft, or fixed wing aircraft
design.
 What are the most significant algorithmic issues in
this area that need to be addressed?
2
PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND
STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
 Most current high performance computers now
consist of 100s or 1000s of SMP nodes with
multicore chips.
 How do current algorithms map to this computer
paradigm?
 Does it make your development work easier or
harder?
 What kind of HPC architectural improvements are
needed to efficiently support these algorithms?
