Abstract
This paper presents an implementation of a parallel environment
for the solution of large non-conventional finite element systems. A topological
data structure is used to define the finite element discretisation. The procedures
previously developed for sequential processing are used to compute the coefficients
of the matrices involved. Alternative variants of the CG algorithm for the
solution of the linear system are tested and compared.
