Performance and Scalability of Finite Element Analysis for Distributed Parallel Computation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two dimensional (h; p) nite element scheme for distributed parallel computation is developed. The approach is based on an element by element domain decomposition and is implemented on the NCUBE2 system. Example problems are used to demonstrate performance of the algorithm for a range of (h; p) and to validate a run-time model. The run-time model is then used to examine the scaling properties of conjugate gradients and the (h; p) FEM over a range of p.

متن کاملFast Finite Element Method Using Multi-Step Mesh Process
This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...
متن کاملThe Performance of an Hexahedron C* Element in Finite Element Analysis
The performance of an 8-noded hexahedron C1* element in elasticity is investigated. Three translational displacements and their derivatives as strain in each direction are considered as degrees of freedom (d.o.f.’s) at each node. The geometric mapping is enforced using a C0 element with no derivative as nodal d.o.f.’s . The stiffness matrix of the element is also computed using a transformation...
متن کاملA Parallel Finite-Element Framework for Large-Scale Gradient-Based Design Optimization of High-Performance Structures
Structural optimization using gradient-based methods is a powerful design technique that is well suited for the design of high-performance structures. However, the ever-increasing complexity of finite-element models and design formulations results in a bottleneck in the computation of the gradients required for the design optimization. Furthermore, in light of current high-performance computing...
متن کاملScalability Analysis of Partitioning Strategies forFinite Element Graphs
Issues of partitioning Finite Element Graphs are central to parallel formulations of the Finite Element Method. Due to the nature of the problem, optimal partitioning schemes should conform to three basic criteria: equal load on all processors; locality of communication; and maximum computation to communication ratio associated with each partition. Many techniques have been presented in literat...
