Abstract
This paper describes the parallelization of a strategy to speed up the convergence of iterative methods applied to BEM (Boundary Element Method) systems arising from problems with non-smooth boundaries and mixed boundary conditions. This strategy was described in a previous work. The aim of that work was the application of fast wavelet transforms as a black box transformation in existing boundary element codes. A new strategy was proposed, applying wavelet transforms on the interval, so it could be used in case of non-smooth coefficient matrices. Here we describe the parallel iterative scheme and we present some of the results we have obtained.
