Parallel Compositional Reservoir Simulation on a Cluster of Pcs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have ported a fully implicit EOS (equation-of-state) compositional parallel reservoir simulator to a cluster of PCs. We report on the performance of the cluster, both in terms of scalability and in absolute performance relative to an IBM SP. The simulator scales well through 16 processors, with each run taking less than twice as long as the comparable run on the SP.
