Telemac auf Origin2000 — Erste Erfahrungen. Supercomputing News 1/2000 (BAW Hamburg).

The article describes the hands-on experiences by changing the principal supercomputer architecture from the vector to the parallel one, connected with the purchase of a shared-memory parallel SGI Origin 2000 machine by BAW for its Karlsruhe site. The consequences for the usage of the Telemac system parallelised with the domain decomposition method — but previously applied on a vector machine — are highlighted. Additionally the different strategies for treatment of tidal flats in Telemac are discussed.
