This paper reports on experience in solving large-scale fluid dynamics problems on the Connection Machine model CM-2. The authors have implemented a parallel version of the MacCormack scheme for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. By using triad floating point operations and reducing the number of interprocessor communications, they have achieved a sustained performance rate of 1.42 GFLOPS.
