Abstract

At the end of 1999. the TeraCluster project has started in the KORDIC Supercomputer center to study PC clusters for parallel computing. The aim is to replace the Cray T3E with a new cluster system in 2002. The PC cluster without a fast network is well suited for applications which do not require large amount of global communications. Since CFD problems are not very communication intensive, whole test cluster may be efficiently used. As an example of practical CFD simulations. the flow past the ONERA M6 wing and the flow past infinite wing are simulated on a cluster of Linux workstations.
