Abstract

This paper describes the parallelisation of the Swan code, an industrial simulation tool for the interaction between surface waves and a moving ship hull. Two different parallel prototypes have been developed. One is based on parallel execution of the main loop over a set of independent parameter combinations. The other version aims at the cpu and memory intensive linear algebra part of the code, and a distributed linear solver based on the ScaLAPACK library has been implemented.
