PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS • Panelists: • Alex Akkerman, Ford • E. Thomas Moyer, Naval Surface Warfare Center • Matt Floros, Army Research Laboratory • Susan Polsky, Naval Air Weapons Center • Andrew Johnson, Digital Rocket Science • Vince Scarafino • Paul Muzio, City University of New York • Bob Graybill, USC–ISI • Richard Walsh, IDC
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?
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?
PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS • What changes in computer programming models for HPC systems would benefit work in this area?
