Scalability of Finite Element Applications on Distributed-memory Parallel Computers Scalability of Finite Element Applications on Distributed-memory Parallel Computers

This paper demonstrates that scalability and competitive eeciency can be achieved for unstructured grid nite element applications on distributed memory machines, such as the Connection Machine CM-5 system. The eeciency of nite element solvers is analyzed through two applications: an implicit computational aerodynamics application and an explicit solid mechanics application. Scalability of mesh ...

An Eecient Communication Strategy for Finite Element Methods on the Connection Machine Cm-5 System an Eecient Communication Strategy for Finite Element Methods on the Connection Machine Cm-5 System

The objective of this paper is to propose communication procedures suitable for unstructured nite element solvers implemented on distributed-memory parallel computers such as the Connection Machine CM-5 system. First, a data-parallel implementation of the recursive spectral bisection (RSB) algorithm proposed by Pothen et al. is presented. The RSB algorithm is associated with a node renumber-ing...

Implementation of Implicit Finite Element Methods for Incompressible Flows on the Cm - 5

A parallel implementation of an implicit finite element formulation for incompress-ible fluids on a distributed-memory massively parallel computer is presented. The dominant issue that distinguishes the implementation of finite element problems on distributed-memory computers from that on traditional shared-memory scalar or vector computers is the distribution of data (and hence workload) to th...

Experimental and 3D Finite Element Analysis of a Slotless Air-Cored Axial Flux PMSG for Wind Turbine Application

In this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3D finite element modeling and experimental tests. The structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...
