Abstract

In this paper, we present a parallelized finite element code developed to study wave propagation phenomena, specifically in porous soils problems which usually require millions of degrees of freedom. The parallelization technique uses an algebraic grid partitioning managed by a Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) programming model. Message Passing Interface (MPI) library specification is the standard used to exchange data between processors. The architecture of the code is explained and numerical results show its performance.
