Description:
This paper discusses NASA's Computational Aerosciences (CAS) Project of the High Performance Computing and Communications Program (HPCCP). The project is aimed at developing advanced, multidisciplinary simulation capabilities for aerospace vehicle and propulsion system design. It is also aimed at overcoming computational performance barriers by accelerating the development of parallel computer technology. The goals and approach of the CAS Project are described and the challenges to its implementation are addressed. Specific vehicle class simulations to be demonstrated and the principal mutidisciplinary modeling approaches to be emphasized are described. The computational speed and memory requirements for representative multidisciplinary applications are estimated. Finally, the state of parallel computer technology including programming issues and the results of performance measurements are explored.
