Future directions in computing and CFDIn recent years CFD on massively parallel machines has become a reality. This paper summarizes some recent trends both in high performance computing, and in CFD using parallel machines. The long term computational requirements for accomplishing some of the large scale problems in computational aerosciences, and current hardware and architecture trends are discussed. Performance results obtained from the implementation of some CFD applications on the Connection Machine CM-2 and the Intel iPSC/860 at NASA Ames Research Center are presented. It is argued that only massively parallel machines will be able to meet these grand challenge requirements.
