1 PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS  Panelists :  Alex Akkerman, Ford  E. Thomas Moyer, Naval Surface Warfare Center  Matt Floros, Army Research Laboratory  Susan Polsky, Naval Air Weapons Center  Andrew Johnson, Digital Rocket Science  Vince Scarafino  Paul Muzio, City University of New York  Bob Graybill, USC–ISI  Richard Walsh, IDC

2 PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS  Many of the panel members are now in the process of addressing complicated multi-physics problems be it for ship, rotorcraft, or fixed wing aircraft design.  What are the most significant algorithmic issues in this area that need to be addressed?

3 PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS  Most current high performance computers now consist of 100s or 1000s of SMP nodes with multicore chips.  How do current algorithms map to this computer paradigm?  Does it make your development work easier or harder?  What kind of HPC architectural improvements are needed to efficiently support these algorithms?

4 PANEL DISCUSSION ON CFD AND STRUCTURES APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS  What changes in computer programming models for HPC systems would benefit work in this area?
