Abstract
This paper focuses on recent developments and on-going research
related to parallel and distributed approaches for crashworthiness simulation, using
the PAM-CRASH code from ESI as an example. The developments described here
relate directly to the take-up in the automotive industry of the latest High
Performance Computing (HPC) technology, since crash and safety analysis is well
established in the automotive design process. The paper will address the use of two
parallel programming interfaces targeted at, but not restricted to, distributed-memory
machines: explicit message-passing, High Performance Fortran (HPF).
