Porting a 3D-Turbulence Simulation to a Multi-Processor System
Gertie Geertsema, Hugo Burm · International Journal of Modern Physics C · 1991
The performance of several computers is examined using a 3D-turbulence simulation. Results are given for test runs using the original program as well as a partially optimized/vectorized version. Special attention is given to porting the code to a multiprocessor transputer system. The results of the simulations are presented in two ways: (1) energy versus lengthscales plotted at subsequent time steps, and (2) for each lenghtscale a color scale is used to represent the energy.
