“…(4), and α b in Eq. (5), which correspond to the operation speeds of the computers, are obtained by analyzing sample problems with four different types of workstations. The measurements were performed in serial executions, and the average values of the parameters are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Since the computing environment with many workstations and networks is widespread, the realization of parallel finite-element analysis is expected using workstation clusters. In the last several years, some articles 1,2,5,10,12,15 have been devoted to the study of parallel finite-element analysis using several workstations. We have developed some parallel finite-element analysis systems 8,9 on a workstation cluster, and it has been found that the critical problem for workstation cluster systems is the limitation of data transmission capacity through the network for large-scale finite-element problems.…”

Since the computing speed and cost performance of engineering workstations are being improved, parallel finite-element analysis is expected using workstation clusters. Parallel performance of the gaussian elimination method, the domain decomposition method, and the domain partitioned CG method are estimated and compared for various workstation clusters with different computing and communication performances. The accurate estimation is based on basic performance data and models to predict the execution time. Consideration is given to the possibilities of the workstation clusters and to the performance required for the workstation cluster system.
