Abstract
Domain decomposition methods are powerful tools for solution
of large sparse equation systems arising from finite element
method, especially in connection with parallel computers.
Two algorithms are described and compared on different
types of parallel computers and operating systems. The first algorithm
is primal domain decomposition method and the second
is finite element tearing and interconnecting method. Definition
of speedup is mentioned and discussed with respect to
algorithms in structural mechanics. Several numerical examples
are shown and analysed.
