The results are presented of an investigation into the use of the data- parallel programming approach on four different massively-parallel computers: the MasPar \(MP-1\) and \(MP-2\) and the Thinking Machines \(CM- 200\) and \(CM-5\). A code to calculate inviscid compressible flow, originally written in FORTRAN 77 for a traditional vector computer, has been re-written entirely in FORTRAN 90 to take advantage of the compilers available on the massively-parallel computers. It is shown that the discretization of the governing equations on a regular mesh is well adapted to data parallelism.
