Abstract

This report documents the viability of parallel processing technology for use in Rotorcraft Simulation. The generic rotorcraft simulation model RASCAL (Rotorcraft Aeromechanics Simulation for Control Analysis) has been 'parallelised' in a number of different ways and the computational performance has been measured and compared to that of the sequential code. The model has been implemented on the Parsytec series of parallel computers running PARIX and also on a cluster of Silicon Graphics Indy Workstations running PVM. The clustered workstation facility forms the HNW project funded by JISC NTI.
