Abstract(in English) Recently, CFD has been attracted as a useful simulation method for aerocraft components. UPACS, one of the practical CFD packages, supports various selectability and has high versatility. In this work, a custom machine for efficient execution of MUSCL; a core function in UPACS was implemented on FLOPS-2D: Multi-FPGA reconfigurable system. To implement on FLOPS-2D, the deep and complicated arithmetic pipeline generated from MUSCL dataflow was divided into two FPGA boards, then each divided pipeline was optimized by a tuning tool called RER. With optimization of the order of operations and pipeline structure, about 60% utilization of the pipeline is achieved even by using serial links between two boards. The execution time is 6.16-23.19 times faster than that of the software on 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
