Mathematical simulation of fast neutron reactors requires high-precision calculations of protection problems based on unstructured meshes. The paper considers and analyzes a parallel version of the ODETTA code (Belousov et al. 2019) with the use of the?MPI?(Message Passing Interface) library technology (Knyazeva et al. 2006). The code is designed for numerical simulation of neutronic processes in shielding compositions of fast neutron lead cooled reactor plants in normal operating modes, and can be used to calculate the radiation conditions of using structural components and equipment of nuclear power facilities which are assumed to be the sources of and/or exposed to ionizing radiation during their safety justification. The operation of the generated code is compared against the previous version. The?MPI-based development of the ODETTA code’s algorithmic part is described. Peculiarities and specific features of the code parallelization are presented, the code modification is given, and respective algorithms are considered. The structure of the ODETTA code based on the?MPI?is described in brief. The results of using the ODETTA code’s serial and parallel versions in OS Linux (Kostromin 2012) for NRNU MEPhI’s HPC cluster are provided (Savchenko et al. 2020). A comparative analysis is presented for two code implementation options in terms of speed and accuracy of results when using two different clusters and different numbers of nodes for these. Peculiarities of cluster-based calculations are noted.
