Abstract
This paper focuses on important areas of numerical simulation which
are at the forefront of High Performance Computing for automotive design. It is the
aim of the paper to give first insights into typical applications and algorithms being
used and the more recent developments related to the take up of HPC technology in
the form of the distributed-memory, message-passing programming paradigm. Given
the immense variety of simulations being performed within the automotive industry,
and the complexity of the applications and algorithms employed, an exhaustive
treatment of automotive simulation is not feasible. Instead, there will be a
concentration on those applications which have been a major feature of the high-end
computing requirements for many years: crashworthiness simulation, Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD), linear static and eigenvalue analyses.
