Internally funded project
Start date : 01.11.2001
End date : 30.10.2003
The goal of the project is the parallelisation and porting of the finite element program EXPDE to the Federal Top-Level Computer. EXPDE is a flexible finite element multigrid solver which works on semi-unstructured grids. It has been successfully used to solve nonlinear heat conduction, elasticity, transport and Stokes problems.
This program is to be ported to the Hitachi SR8000 in close collaboration with the gridlib project. Vital importance is attached to the development of innovative object-oriented programming techniques for supercomputers.
