Computational Mechanics (CM) has become
a scientific discipline in itself, being High Perfomance Computational
Mechanics (HPCM) a key sub-discipline. The effort for the most efficient use of
distributed memory machines provides a different perspective to CM scientists
relative to a wide range of topics, from the very physics of the problem to
solve to the numerical method used. Marenostrum supercomputer is the largest
facility in Europe and the 5th in the world (top500.org - Spring 2007). This
talk describes the research lines in the CASE Dpt. of the BSC applied to
Aerospace, Bio-mechanics, Geophysics or Environment, through the development of
Alya, the in-house HPCM code for complex coupled problems capable of running
efficiently in large distributed memory facilities.
