They called this NWT I, but in reality there was no possibility of parallel computation. Each processor has 256MBytes of memory. NWT interfaces with other NAL systems via a Fujitsu VP2600 front end processor which is connected to a 210GByte magnetic disk and a 500GByte magneto-optical disk.
Plans are for the system to be used in three main aerospace areas.
Simulation of viscous flow around a complete aircraft or spacecraft Simulation of sypersonic flow and engine internal flow Simulation of turbulent systems, at high Reynolds numbers, including simulation of the large eddies around a wing. He is not yet using this himself, but comments that his colleagues are submitting NWT jobs. Single PE jobs run without any trouble, using the normal VP-Fortran compiler. Multi PE jobs use NWT Fortran which distribute tasks among specified PE's with NWT directives. We met some preliminary bugs but most of them have been fixed and most Fortran codes run.
