The Dynamic Adaptation of Parallel Mesh-Based Computation

We present an overview of algorithms and data structures for dynamic re nement coarsening adaptation of unstructured FE meshes on loosely coupled parallel processors. We describe a a parallel adaptation algorithm, b an online parallel repartitioning algorithm based on mesh adaptation histories, c an algorithm for the migration of mesh elements between processors, and d an integrated object-oriented framework for the adaptation, repartitioning and migration of the mesh. A two-dimensional triangle-based prototype demonstrates the feasibility of these ideas.
