Abstract

The present paper summarizes trends in supercomputing and the consequences they will have on coupled problems in computational mechanics. The appearance of parallel machines with more than ${\displaystyle 10^{6}}$ cores implies that the prevalent ‘scalar-pre, simple parallel solve, scalar-post’ environment will have to give way to a completely scalable simulation pipeline. The grid size alone will force distributed parallelization of meshing, domain splitting, load balancing and post-processing. Possible ways of addressing parallel meshing and dynamic load balancing for multiphysics are treated, and examples shown.
