Abstract

Traditional parallel boundary element methods suffer from low parallel efficiency and poor scalability due to the long system solving time bottleneck. In this paper, we demonstrate how to avoid such a bottleneck by using an instantiable basis function approach. In our demonstrated examples, we achieve 90% parallel efficiency and scalability both in shared memory and distributed memory parallel systems.
