Parallel Finite Element Computations

This book describes in detail the main procedures for the parallelization of the finite element method for distributed memory architectures. The procedures described in the book are applicable to distributed memory computer architectures including closely coupled parallel computers and loosely coupled networks of workstations. The book will be of interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on the application of high performance computing to finite element methods. The book is accompanied by a voucher for a free software disk containing the C source code for the procedures described in the book.
