Abstract
In this paper a new MPI-based frameworkpadfem2 for finite elements methods (FEM) is presented allowing an efficient execution of FEM applications on clusters with SMP nodes. This paper focuses on the global architecture and on an unique parallel data structure for high-performance object management on structured and unstructured grids. The efficiency and scalability of the parallel FEM processing is evaluated using Poisson and Navier-Stokes numerical solvers as an example.
This work is partly supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG) project SFB-376.
