Abstract	In this paper we analyze communication patterns in the parallel three-dimensional Navier-Stokes sover Prism, and present performance results on the IBM SP2, the Cray T3D and the SGI Power Challenge XL. Prism is used for direct numerical simulation of turbulence in non-separable and multiply-connected domains. The numerical method used in the solver is based on mixed spectral element-Fourier expansions in (x-y) planes and z_direction, respectively. Each (or a group) of Fourier modes is computed on a separate processor as the linear contributions (Helmholtz solves) are completely uncoupled in the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations; coupling is obtained via th nonlinear contributions (convective terms). The transfer of data beween physical and Fourier space requires a series of complete exchange operations, which dominate the communication cost for small number of processors. As the number of processors increases, global reduction and gather operations become important while complete exchange becomes more latency dominated. Predictive models for these communication operations are proposed and tested against measurements. A relatively large variation in communication timings per iteration is observed in simulations and quantified in terms of specific operations. A number of improvements are proposed that could significantly reduce the communications overhead with increasing numbers of processors, and generic predictive maps are developed for the complete exchange operation, which remains the fundamental communication in Prism. Results presented in this paper are representative of a wider class of parallel spectral and finite element codes for computational mechanics which require similar communication operations.
