The system simulation group of the computer science department at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg investigates the use of high-performance, usually parallel, computers as routine simulation tool for the numerical solution of processes governed by
partial differential equations.
Focus of research
- continuous simulation (simulation of problems described by partial differential equations)
efficient algorithms implemented efficiently multigrid methods (geometric and algebraic) Lattice-Boltzmann methods free surface problems multi phase flows large scale parallel simulation
Research-relevant technical equipmentSince November 2004, the System Simulation Group operates its own
52 processor cluster for parallel numerical simulations. The cluster
consists of nine dual processor and eight four processor nodes of
AMD Opteron 2.2 GHz CPUs. The four processor nodes have 16 GByte
of main memory each and are connected with an Infiniband network with
10 GBit/s bandwidth. The dual processor machines feature 4 GByte of
RAM each and a GigabitEthernet network. The Infiniband subnet of the cluster with its 32 CPUs and 128 GByte of RAM, combined with the high bandwidth of each individual processor
to the local memory make for an interesting plattform for memory intensive computations.
