Abstract
The method of recursive spectra bisection for the decomposition
of finite element meshes and its parallel implementation
on both a network of T800 transputers and for tridiagonalising
real, symmetric matrices is also presented. The results for a
number of meshes suggest that there is little benefit in parallelising
the recursive spectral bisection method for domain decomposition
on either platform.
