Notes:
A brief description of distributed memory MIMD computers, and in particular, a transputer based computing surface, is presented. The factors to be considered in their application to computationally intensive CFD problems are discussed with reference to the discrete vortex method used for the solution of separated flow about bluff bodies. Three parallel algorithms for its implementation are presented, and the results are discussed in the context of the speed-ups obtained using up to sixty-four parallel processors.
