Abstract—Fire Dynamics Simulator parallel computing program has been compiled based on Message Passing Interface. The fire flow field is divided into several segments and each segment is allocated to the corresponding node to calculate. The calculation shows that computing time has been significantly reduced as the amount of processors increase. The procedure and method that the text has established is feasible, and could be further extended to large-scale parallel computing and engineering application.

Index Terms—Building fire, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Fire Dynamics Simulator, parallel processing systems, Message Passing Interface, acceleration ratio.
