Flow-3D/MP Brochure

VERSION 5.0 Speed up your CFD simulations with FLOW-3D/MP 5.0 A d v a n t a g e s • Developed and optimized for the latest multi-core architecture • Physical models fully synced with FLOW-3D v10.1 • Parallelization based on the Hybrid MPI-OpenMP methodology • Automatic Decomposition Tool allows directional decomposition • True Domain Decomposition • Full compatibility with FLOW-3D v10.1 GUI for post-processing results f low3d.com/mp sales@flow3d.com FLOW-3D/MP is the distributed memory version of Flow Science’s flagship CFD software, FLOW-3D. FLOW-3D/MP enables engineers to take advantage of the scaling potential of the software on multi-core clusters. FLOW-3D/MP v5.0 offers users substantial performance and scaling improvements compared to standard FLOW-3D v10.1 for workstations. Version 5.0 is a hybrid parallel version of FLOW-3D v10.1 and uses Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP to achieve parallelization. “Our 5-6 day simulations became 15-18 hour simulations using FLOW-3D/MP running on our cluster with Infiniband interconnect. Decreased simulation time allows us to investigate more design options and additional physics/phenomenological complexity.” -Dr. Justin Crapps and Dr. Jack Galloway, Los Alamos National Labs Hardware that displays the Intel Cluster Ready logo is assured to run software which is also certified as Cluster Ready.
