Distributed Numerical Simulation on Workstation Networks
W. Huber, Regina Hüttl, M. Schneider, Christoph Zenger · Notes on numerical fluid mechanics · 1994
Networks of workstations are an interesting and valuable tool for studying and executing parallel programs. This paper investigates their use for the numerical simulation of complicated processes in various fields of technical applications. It is demonstrated that the limited communication rate in comparison to dedicated parallel computers is not always a serious bottleneck in this area of applications. Moreover, there are also advantages of this approach which in practice may be much more important than its deficiencies.
