Computational Mechanics Using High Performance Computing (Saxe-Coburg Publications on Computational Engineering Series)

Lectures given at the Third Euro-Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing in Computational Mechanics held in Weimar, Germany, in March 1999 are included in this book. Topics include distributed visualization, hpf+ for irregular applications, parallel mesh partitioning on distributed memory systems, load-balancing, asynchronous iterative methods, asynchronous waveform relaxation methods, coercive elliptic problems, time-harmonic hyperbolic problems, domain decomposition methods, nonlinear anisotropic problems, parallel domain decomposition preconditioners, and parallel evolutionary optimization of structures.
