Flow Science Releases FLOW-3D/MP v4.0 for CFD
 SANTA
FE, NM, Nov 25, 2009 - Flow Science, Inc. announces that a new release of the distributed-memory
version of its FLOW-3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, FLOW-3D/MP
version 4.0,
is now available.

FLOW-3D/MP Version 4.0 offers substantial performance improvements,
including significant decreases in problem setup and simulation times.
Crucial developments to the software have reduced the amount of data sent
via MPI communication, cut down on the number of synchronization points and
improved computational load balancing using the automatic domain
decomposition tool (ADT). ADT allows users to decompose the domain quickly
and efficiently, instead of relying on a tedious and often inaccurate manual
procedure. All of this makes it possible to extend scaling to up to 32 cores
and achieve runtime improvements of as much as 16x.
The physical models and numerical methods of FLOW-3D/MP v4.0 are based on
FLOW-3D v9.3.2.
“This new version will enable our user community to achieve
highly-accurate and reliable answers in a half day or less which might have
previously taken a week,” said David Souders, Flow Science’s Vice President
of Sales & Marketing.
FLOW-3D/MP, first released in 2006, uses multi-block methodology to
decompose the computational domain into blocks, which are then distributed
among the nodes in a cluster. FLOW-3D/MP has been benchmarked and tested
extensively on both Windows Compute Cluster and Linux workstations.
Flow Science has commenced shipment of this new release to customers
under maintenance contracts.
