Abstract

This paper presents an introduction to writing parallel finite element programs using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library. It is assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of the finite element method but has little or no prior experience with parallel computing. Hence the paper begins with a short review of some of the key concepts in parallel programming uncler a distributed memory paradigm before moving on to discuss the details of a simple parallel finite element algorithm. Implementation details of this algorithm are then considered with reference to the C programming language and a number of extensions and improvements are discussed.
