Just got an email about this beautiful visualization of water flow around a Los Angeles class submarine, generated from data from SAIC’s NFA code.
A 688 submarine traveling on the surface of the ocean is shown. The simulation was performed on a Cray XE6 supercomputer using 6,144 processors. The simulation ran for 19,000 time steps and completed in 36 hours.
This was run on one of the new HPCMP Cray’s, showing just what you can do with 6,000 cores processors at your disposal.
Disclaimer: I work at the site where this Simulation & Visualization was done, although I was not involved.
via YouTube – 3.2 billion-cell simulation calculated using NFA CFD code.
