Before revision: The lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM)  is an algorithm for CFD simulations that has gained popularity due to its ease of implementation and suitability for complex geometries.
After revision: The lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) as a prototype for this scenario in order to show if and how single-chip performance and power characteristics can be generalized to the highly parallel case. LBM is an algorithm for CFD simulations that has gained popularity due to its ease of implementation and suitability for complex geometries.
