Abstract

We examine work carried out at Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre relevant to parallel unstructured mesh applications of the type commonly encountered in Finite Element and Finite Volume calculations. We have developed a suite of Parallel Utilities Libraries to support distributed unstructured mesh programming which are portable to a wide variety of platforms. These libraries cover mesh decomposition, preprocessing, parallel distribution and management, and allow the use of either overlapping or non-overlapping domains. Based around our experience with unstructured mesh applications we have developed course material suitable for presentation on the WWW via our EPIC interactive courseware package. We illustrate the use of our libraries to parallelise a demonstration engineering code and examine industrial collaborations that have benefited from them. We also survey related work at the Centre, including the EPIC courseware.
