Crash Simulation analysis using LS-DYNA* (cluster - 3 vehicle collision)
Benchmark description
LS-DYNA is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating complex real world problems, for use in various industries, including Automobile Design, Aerospace, Manufacturing, and Bioengineering. Benchmark data sets and cluster performance quotations are available from the independent web site www.topcrunch.org. Thewww.topcrunch.org benchmarks associated with structural dynamics (LS-DYNA) address domain decomposition, message passing, load balancing, and dynamic memory allocation in automotive crash safety analysis. The chart above shows cluster benchmark performance comparisons of automotive crash simulation for 3 vehicle rear end crash (3 vehicle collision). The simulation involves a minivan crashing into rear of a compact car, which in turn crashes into rear of a mid-size car. Results were shown for increasing number of cluster nodes from one to eight.
