Load Balancing for CFD Applications in Grid Computing Environment

Abstract

The Grid is a communication service that collaborates dispersed high performance computers so that those can be shared and worked together. It enables the analysis of large-scale problem with the reduction of computation time by collaborating high performance computing resources in dispersed organizations. Thus, the present paper focuses on the efficient flow calculation using the Grid. To increase parallel efficiency, a simple load balance algorithm for the Grid computing is proposed and applied to various aerodynamic problems.
