A parallel processing system for computing particle interactions includes a plurality of computation nodes arranged according to a geometric partitioning of a simulation volume. Each computation node has storage for particle data. This particle data is associated with particles in a region of the geometrically partitioned simulation volume. The parallel processing system also includes a communication system having links interconnecting the computation nodes. Each of the computation nodes includes a processor subsystem. These processor subsystems cooperate to coordinate computation of the particle interactions in a distributed manner.
A parallel processing system for computing particle interactions, said parallel processing system comprising a plurality of computation nodes arranged according to a geometric partitioning of a simulation volume, wherein each computation node comprises storage for particle data, said particle data being associated with particles in a region of the geometrically partitioned simulation volume, and a communication system comprising links interconnecting the computation nodes, wherein each of the computation nodes comprises a processor subsystem, and wherein the processor subsystems of the computation nodes together coordinate computation of the particle interactions in a distributed manner.
A processing node for use in a parallel processing system, said processing node comprising a group of subsystems, said group of subsystems comprising a processor subsystem, a computation subsystem, and a memory subsystem, wherein a communication subsystem links the subsystems of the group of subsystems and provides at least part of a link between subsystems of the processing node and subsystems of one or more other processing nodes of the parallel processing system, and wherein the computation subsystem comprises circuitry for performing pairwise computations between data elements, each of which is associated with a spatial location.
