In these days, the state-of-art technologies employ the heterogeneous parallelization of CPU and GPU for fluid simulations in the field of computer graphics. In this paper, we present a novel CPU-GPU parallel algorithm that solves projection step of fluid simulation more efficiently than existing sequential CPU-GPU processing. Fluid simulation that requires high computational resources can be carried out efficiently by the proposed method.

Parallel procedure and performance of two-step Eulerian code have not been reported sufficiently yet even though it was developed and utilized widely in the impact simulation. In this study, parallel strategy of two-step Eulerian code was proposed and described in detail. The performance was evaluated in the self-made linux cluster computer. Compared with commercial code, a relatively good performance is achieved. Through the performance evaluation of each computation stage, remap is turned out to be the most time consuming part among the other part such as FE processing, communication, time marching etc.

In the present study, a parallel Taylor-Galerkin/level set based two-phase flow code was developed using finite element discretization and domain decomposition method based on MPI (Message Passing Interface). The proposed method can be utilized for the analysis of a large scale free surface problem in a complex geometry due to the feature of FEM and domain decomposition method. Four-step fractional step method was used for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Taylor-Galerkin method was adopted for the discretization of hyperbolic type redistancing and advection equations. A Parallel ILU(0) type preconditioner was chosen to accelerate the convergence of a conjugate gradient type iterative solvers. From the present parallel numerical experiments, it has been shown that the proposed method is applicable to the simulation of large scale free surface flows.

As design of very large circuits is made possible by rapid development of VLSI technologies, efficient fault simulation is needed. Ingeneral, fault simulation requires many computer resources. As general-purpose multiprocessors become more common and affordable, these seem to be an attractive and effective alternative for fault simulation. Efficient fault simulation of synchronous sequential circuits has been reported to be attainably by using a linear iterative array model for such a circuit, and combining parallel fault simulation with russogate fault simulation. Such fault simulation algorithm is parallelized on a general-purpose multiprocessor with shard memory for acceleration of fault simulation. Through the experimenal study, the effect of the number of processors on speed-up of simulation, processor utilization, and the effect of multiprocessor hardware on simulation performance are studied. Some results for experiments with benchmark circuits are shown.

In the recent large block are used to build the ship to improve productivity. For this reason, two or more floating cranes that are connected in parallel is the trend. Typically, when working with floating crane load safety factor is considered. Even in the parallel operation, load safety factor is calculated similar to working alone. For this reason, operations do not guarantee the reliability or excessive safety factor applied. Therefore, the subdivided cases for calculating the safety factor are defined when parallel connected floating cranes are operated. Based on those cases, the operation standard is made about procedure using parallel connected floating cranes. And to verify this, dynamics simulation was performed for verification using the dynamics simulation program.

In order to understand the flow behavior of Electrorheological (ER) fluid, dynamic simulation has been intensively performed for the last decade. When the shear flow is applied, it is easy to carry out the simulation with relatively small number of particles because of the periodic boundary condition. For the squeezing flow, however, it is not easy to apply the periodic boundary condition, and the number of particles needs to be increased to simulate the ER system more realistically. For this reason, the simulation of ER fluid under squeezing flow has been mostly performed with some representative chains or with the approximation that severely restricts the flow geometry to reduce the computational load. In this study, Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is one of the most widely-used parallel processing techniques, has been employed in a dynamic simulation of ER fluid under squeezing flow. As the number of particles used in the simulation could be increased significantly, full domain between the electrodes has been covered. The numerical treatment or the approximation used to reduce the computational load has been evaluated for its validity, and was found to be quite effective. As the number of particles is increased, the fluctuation of the normal stress becomes diminished and the prediction in general was found to be qualitatively In good agreement with the experimental results.

This experiment simulated the fire driven flow of an underground station through parallel processing method. Fire analysis program FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulation), using LES(Large Eddy Simulation), has been used and a 6-node parallel cluster, each node with 3.0Ghz_2set installed, has been used for parallel computation. Simulation model was based on the Kwangju-geumnan subway station. Underground station, and the total time for simulation was set at 600s. First, the whole underground passage was divided to 1-Mesh and 8-Mesh in order to compare the parallel computation of a single CPU and Multi-CPU. With matrix numbers($15{\times}10^6$) more than what a single CPU can handle, fire driven flow from the center of the platform and the subway itself was analyzed. As a result, there seemed to be almost no difference between the single CPU's result and the Multi-CPU's ones. $3{\times}10^6$ grid point one employed to test the computing time with 2CPU and 7CPU computation were computable two times and fire times faster than 1CPU respectively. In this study it was confirmed that CPU could be overcome by using parallel computation.
