Hi, Every one,

I am working on DNS of Diffusion Flames, presently i have a code which is in Fortran 77, I want parallalise this code, can any body suggest how to do parallalisation, where can i get help(books or online material etc) about parallalising the code. I will be very happy if any body gives this information.

Thankyou Mahiboob

wow big job I think

Depend on the computer source and what kind of parallel method you want to use. If you want to implement message transfer scheme like MPI and PVM, I think you need hard work. If it is a shared memory thing, then it is easy.

If you have access to a multi-processor computer with shared-memory, it will be mush easier to use openmp to parallize it (see http://www.openmp.org/ ). If you are stuck with a distributed memory system (such as a linux cluster), well I suggest using MPI instead of PVM. It is the most widely used. But it will not be straitforward job. (see http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ and http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-2/ )

BTW: if you code is explicit, getting it to run in parallel will be much easier.

Why you, Sebastien, don't recommend to use, e.g., High Performance Fortran (HPF) which is easy for studying in comparison with MPI and which yields almost the same results for CFD?

OpenMP is as easy as HPF and is portable across all platforms. It is also an industry standard.

But, HPF would also be a good choice. I recommended OpenMP first because I am more familiar with it.
