Abstract

The application of multiphysical modelling is steadily increasing in the last decade, which also leads to a corresponding increase of the complexity and of the diversity of software packages used. To deal with this complexity, users of supercomputing clusters are often challenged to couple two or more software systems of different software vendors together. However, the combined use of complex software systems usually raises additional limitations, thus reducing considerably the efficiency of the parallel simulations. In the present work, an example of such complex software utilization has been shown and the particular limitations are identified. The most severe limitation for the current supercomputing simulations has been the relatively high RAM requirement per computing core. At this stage of the numerical investigation, in order to overcome the limitations, the software packages have been ported to a different, more suitable hardware architecture with increased RAM per node. This way, the efficient use of the parallel computational resources has been guaranteed which was confirmed by means of strong scaling tests.
