Abstract
A 18 nodes high performance computing cluster system which consists of 36 itanium 2 processors and infiniband network was constructed. The cluster s Unpack performance achieves 188.6 Giga floating-point operations per second (GFlops) after optimization. The cluster system was extended to a parallel CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical simulation platform, then. A three-dimension flow field model of tactical missile which consists of 783 million structured grids was made, and the arithmetic of partitioning grids was used to transplant the model to the cluster system to measure its performance. The result shows that the CFD numerical simulation platform s hardware and software configuration is reasonable, and can meet the needs of medium-sized parallel CFD simulation.
