The distributed iterative solution of numerical simulation problems on Infiniband or Ethernet Clusters via the P2PDC environment is studied. The P2PDC decentralized environment is dedicated to task parallel applications. It has been designed for the solution of large scale numerical simulation problems via distributed iterative algorithms. The P2PDC environment is based on the P2PSAP self-adaptive communication protocol. New functionalities of the P2PSAP communication protocol aimed at using Infiniband clusters are presented. A series of computational results is presented and analyzed.
