The present invention provides a system, method and product for porting computationally complex CFD calculations to a coprocessor in order to decrease overall processing time. The system comprises a CPU in communication with a coprocessor over a high speed interconnect. In addition, an optional display may be provided for displaying the calculated flow field. The system and method include porting variables of governing equations from a CPU to a coprocessor; receiving calculated source terms from the coprocessor; and solving the governing equations at the CPU using the calculated source terms. In a further aspect, the CPU compresses the governing equations into combination of higher and/or lower order equations with fewer variables for porting to the coprocessor. The coprocessor receives the variables, iteratively solves for source terms of the equations using a plurality of parallel pipelines, and transfers the results to the CPU. In a further aspect, the coprocessor decompresses the received variables, solves for the source terms, and then compresses the results for transfer to the CPU. The CPU solves the governing equations using the calculated source terms. In a further aspect, the governing equations are compressed and solved using spectral methods. In another aspect, the coprocessor includes a reconfigurable computing device such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). In yet another aspect, the coprocessor may be used for specific applications such as Navier-Stokes equations or Euler equations and may be configured to more quickly solve non-linear advection terms with efficient pipeline utilization.
