Abstract
We present the principles of a parallel approach suited to the
simulation of a large class of non-linear problems. It is based
on the use of two domain decompositions which goal is to
balance the loads of calculation over the various processors
by limiting the task redistributions. The implementation of
this algorithm is carried out starting from an extension of the
possibilities of the user language of the code CASTEM 2000.
GIBIANE is a full featured language which allows the user to
distribute tasks on a parallel machine, knowing that the
system ensures the coherence of data during the sequence of
tasks in limiting waiting phases of applications. The
propounded system, that takes into accounts the capabilities
of the various computers types, allows two levels of
parallelization: the user level and the programming level only
used for fine performance tuning. Numerical examples are
presented to validate the proposed parallel approach.
