Abstract

Computational analysis requires huge amounts of computational resources. However, for the usual developer, parallelization is difficult as it requires special programming skills. In addition, since recently available architectures vary from PC-clusters to SMP clusters, the optimization strategies to make the best use of the hardware performance are no longer unique. In the present study, we develop a problem solving environment, which supports parallelization and optimizations for easily developing parallel FEM code. The load of code development on this PSE is evaluated. The parallel efficiency of the developed code is also discussed.
