Designing a parallel algorithm for Heat conduction using MPI, OpenMP and CUDA

A three dimensional (3-D) code based on finite difference method (FDM) has been developed for solving steady state heat conduction equation. The code computes temperature values at discrete number of nodes in the computational domain. The results obtained by the developed code are compared with general purpose CFD software. The code has been made parallel using Message passing interface (MPI), Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP), and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA).
