Ship Hull Hydrodynamic Analysis Using Distributed Shared Memory

Abstract. In this article we present the results obtained from the execution of a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics program on a cluster of personal computers. The communication and data interchange between the nodes uses a Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) system called TreadMarks. The parallelized program was run on a 100Mbit/s Ethernet network connecting 4 personal computers. Using data similar to a real execution on a industrial environment, we achieved a maximum
