A general purpose system for finite element analyses in parallel

Abstract

A system for doing finite element computations in parallel is described. It is general purpose in the sense that it can be used across a wide range of finite element applications and in the sense that it is not restricted to any particular parallel hardware. Its performance on computers ranging from clusters of PCs to massively parallel high performance machines is illustrated.
