Notes:
Vector and parallel algorithms for finite-element analysis using the element-by-element (EBE) data structure are developed. The algorithms are based on the EBE approach in conjunction with gradient-type iterative solution. The essential idea is to exploit the independent dense local-element matrix-vector calculations and reconfigure them to take advantage of vector or parallel processing capabilities. The ideas also are well suited to finite-element adaptive refinement computations. Specific algorithmic details related to the implementations are given, together with results of speed-up performance studies conducted on the vector and parallel architectures. The basic vector and parallel versions of the matrix-vector product for the EBE scheme are very straightforward modifications of the EBE algorithm, requiring little coding change.
