Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can only partially be done in parallel, but each simulation step requires predictor/error regularization which is a serial aggregate step. This step is the bottle neck when you try to check if everything in the total simulation adds up correctly, the memory requirement isn’t huge, but it has to happen quickly and all in one place.
