HPCC is a multiagency program designed to accelerate the development and application of high performance computing systems through an integrated program of hardware, software, and network development, as well as long-term basic research. The development of a propulsion system simulation requires the integration of disciplines, components and high-performance computers into a high-level software environment. Of particular interest is the structuring of object-oriented component models within a dataflow control network. The numerically intensive component models will employ various parallel processing strategies to speed the overall system processing times. Various algorithms will be explored to solve complex geometry, time varying, engine system problems on a heterogeneous network of computers.
