Excerpt from Chapter 1

to Parallel Computing

Parallel computing is a form of computing that uses multiple processors to solve a computational problem. This can be done by dividing the problem into smaller subproblems, each of which is solved by a different processor. The results of the subproblems are then combined to produce the final solution.

There are many different types of parallel computers, ranging from small multi-core processors to large supercomputers. The type of parallel computer that is best for a particular application depends on the size of the problem, the amount of data that needs to be processed, and the desired level of performance.

Parallel computing can offer significant performance advantages over traditional sequential computing. However, it is important to note that parallel computing is not always the best approach for every problem. In some cases, it may be more efficient to use a sequential algorithm on a single processor.

Parallel vector equation solvers are a powerful tool for solving large-scale finite element problems. They can offer significant performance advantages over traditional sequential solvers, and they are becoming increasingly important as finite element models become more complex.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of parallel vector equation solvers for finite element engineering applications. It is a valuable resource for engineers and scientists who are interested in using parallel computing to solve finite element problems, and it is also a valuable resource for researchers who are working on the development of new parallel vector equation solvers.
