Hi.

I would like to know if there is someone porting or considering to port OpenFOAM to IBM Cell BE.

In case of starting the porting, I would like to hear sugestions and opinions from the community.

Thanks

Marcelo

Just some points: how much time does your application spend in a clearly defined block (e.g. linear solver)? How much do you think you can speed this up? (note that all linear solvers still do parallel communication every sweep)
