Abstract	The panel method, or the boundary element method, has been widely used for calculating lifting flows in which forces on wing surfaces are primarily of interest. In panel method for a wind generation system with a number of propfans or for an oil platform motion control assembly with a number of thrusters/propellers, calling time for a matrix solver is the key factor for computing efficiency. This paper discusses the code development of an iterative matrix solver in MPI via C and benchmark analysis for a shared and a distributed memory UNIX machine, respectively.
