| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 機械工程學系 === 86 === Currently we can buy dual CPU PentiumⅡpersonal computer
cheaply to get very high performance price ratio. When the
dual CPU personal computer is used as server, the capacity
of the dual CPU can be fully used by help of the Windows NT
operation system. If the dual CPU is used in large numerical
simulation, it is necessary to rewrite the code to use the
capacity of the dual CPU by the help of some special program
library. In this paper, we plan to
develop parallel finite element code in multipleCPU personal
computer to reduce the computation time in large engineering
simulation problems. The code will be written by VC++ computer
language. Because we has been bought dual CPU Pentium
Pro personal computer before, this paper will use this computer
system to execute parallel finite element code. The
multithread capacity embedded in the Windows NT will be used to
write the parallel computation code.
The numerical testing show that the average of speed up is 1.74
for dual CPU Pentium Pro personal computer. If quad CPU system
or 8 CPU system is available in the future, it will be used
in the numerical test and the speed up will be higher than
1.74.
Parallel finite element design not only used the capacity of the
dual CPU but also substitute personal computer to high level
workstation. So it will get very high performance price ratio.
Because most people seldom know about parallel computation in
multiple CPU personal computer, I hope this paper willhelp them
to understand it.
