The Broadcast Cube System (BCS), a special-propose multiprocessor system is presented for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Datas of the BCS architecture, processing elements (PEs) configuration and the features of the system are presented. The considered system of PDEs simulating heat transfer and fluid flow consists of the Navier- Stokes equations, the energy equation and the continuity equation. For solving the system of PDEs the finite difference method is used. A method for partitioning the problem into tasks, their assignment to the PEs and parallel algorithms for solving the problem on the BCS are discussed.
