Description

An experiment of vector processing and multi-tasking of nuclear reactor transient analysis code RELAP5 has been made at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Vector processing and multi-tasking of the RELAP5 were achieved by using the independency of the spatial meshes. The vectorization ratio is 83%. The performance ratio in the vector mode to that in the scalar mode is about 3 on the FACOM VP-100. For multi-tasking, the spatial meshes are halved and each group of meshes is processed on different processor. The effect of multi-tasking was estimated from the CPU time on the FACOM VP-100, which is single processor system
