Abstract

In this paper, a high performance computing method based on the Integrated Radial Basis Function (IRBF), Control Volume (CV) and Domain Decomposition technique for solving Partial Differential Equations is presented. The goal is to develop an efficient parallel algorithm based on the Compact Local IRBF method using the CV approach, especially for problems with non-rectangular domain. The results showed that the goal is achieved as the computational efficiency is quite significant. For the case of square lid driven cavity problem with Renoylds number 100, super-linear speed-up is also achieved. The parallel algorithm is implemented in the Matlab environment using Parallel Computing Toolbox based on Distributed Computing Engine.
