Parallel structures and dynamic load balancing for adaptive finite element computation

From MaRDI portal





We describe data structures for distributed storage of finite element mesh data as well as software for mesh adaptation, load balancing, and solving compressible flow problems. Processor load imbalances are introduced at adaptive enrichment steps during the course of a parallel computation. To correct this, we have developed three dynamic load balancing procedures based, respectively, on load imbalance trees, moment of inertia, and octree traversal. Computational results on an IBM SP2 computer are presented for steady and transient solutions of the three-dimensional Euler equations of compressible flow.
