EZZATTI, Pablo; FOSSATI, Mónica  y  PIEDRA-CUEVA, Ismael. An efficient version of the RMA-11 model. CLEIej [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.2, pp.4-4. ISSN 0717-5000.

Abstract   RMA-11 is a numerical model widely used for studing the transport of constituents and water quality in rivers and estuaries. When applied to large water systems like the Río de la Plata, RMA-11 demands long execution times to compute a simulation. This paper presents the analysis of the computational efficiency for the RMA-11 applied to a transport model of the Río de la Plata, and introduces a proposal for improving the efficiency by using high performance computing techniques. The improved implementation modifies the linear system resolution methodology implemented in the model. A high performance computing strategy was applied to the FRONTALL routine of the RMA-11, by changing their logical structure and using a sparse storage format. The experimental results obtained when solving representative test cases show a significant improvement on the performance, achieving significant gains in computational speed: the execution time of the implemented version decreased up to one third of the time of the original implementation.

Palabras clave : computational fluid dynamics; transport numerical model; high performance computing .
