Abstract
Over the past few years advances in parallel computing have been significant. Large local memories, fast interprocessor communications, and high speed superscalar nodes have significantly improved the utility of this hardware for reservoir simulation. The following paper discusses a general-purpose reservoir simulator which has been ported to three parallel computers: the Cray T3D, the IBM SP2 and the Silicon Graphics Power Challenge.
