4:Computational Solutions (cont.)
Storage requirements
- Fundamental variables 16 times 2 (2-level) = 32.
- Total ~130 3D Arrays or 2.2GB for a 129^3 grid.
- Difficulties with “good” resolution.
- Difficulties with placing boundaries .
- AMR will help here.
Computationally expensive.
- Current serial version takes days to run on a T90.
- Eventual computation will be a ~teraflop calculation.
