“…The strength of the approach lies in the modularity achieved and the net decrease in the lengths of code. The advantages of these techniques can be found in [5] [6] [7]. In general, such a code can broadly be divided into four main parts.…”

Parallel finite element algorithms based on object-oriented concepts are presented. Moreover, the design and implementation of a data structure proposed are utilized in realizing a parallel geometric multigrid method. The ParFEMapper and the ParFECommunicator are the key components of the data structure in the proposed parallel scheme. These classes are constructed based on the type of finite elements (continuous or nonconforming or discontinuous) used. The proposed solver is compared with the open source direct solvers, MUMPS and PasTiX. Further, the performance of the parallel multigrid solver is analyzed up to 1080 processors. The solver shows a very good speedup up to 960 processors and the problem size has to be increased in order to maintain the good speedup when the number of processors are increased further. As a result, the parallel solver is able to handle large scale problems on massively parallel supercomputers. The proposed parallel finite element algorithms and multigrid solver are implemented in our in-house package ParMooN.

“…FEbased codes capable of simulating crack propagation exist (e.g., ADAPCRACK3D [24], FRANC3D [25], WARP3D [26]). However, to the knowledge of the authors, the liter ature is void on OOP-based procedures for crack growth in cyclically loaded structures [16].…”

“…A considerable amount of work has been published in the last 20 years where OOP concepts are uti lized for developing finite element codes: In a bibliograph ical review by Mackerle [16], almost 400 references on various OOP aspects of FEM are listed, ranging from OOP philosophy, OOP-FE code libraries to OOP-FE applications. Considerations and interesting examples of general FE codes implementation and development via OOP languages can be found for example in [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Reusing code amortizes the formidable software development effort required to support parallel unstructured mesh-based simulations. In the open-source community there are several objectoriented toolkits and libraries [19][20][21], which include domain decomposition, shape functions of many orders, numerical integration, assembling and solving equation systems, etc. These packages can be extended by developers for their specific application libraries.…”

Evaluating the performance of the particle finite element method in parallel architectures

This paper presents a high performance implementation for the particle-mesh based method called particle finite element method two (PFEM-2). It consists of a material derivative based formulation of the equations with a hybrid spatial discretization which uses an Eulerian mesh and Lagrangian particles. The main aim of PFEM-2 is to solve transport equations as fast as possible keeping some level of accuracy. The method was found to be competitive with classical Eulerian alternatives for these targets, even in their range of optimal application. To evaluate the goodness of the method with large simulations, it is imperative to use of parallel environments. Parallel strategies for Finite Element Method have been widely studied and many libraries can be used to solve Eulerian stages of PFEM-2. However, Lagrangian stages, such as streamline integration, must be developed considering the parallel strategy selected. The main drawback of PFEM-2 is the large amount of memory needed, which limits its application to large problems with only one computer. Therefore, a distributed- memory implementation is urgently needed. Unlike a sharedmemory approach, using domain decomposition the memory is automatically isolated, thus avoiding race conditions; however new issues appear due to data distribution over the processes. Thus, a domain decomposition strategy for both particle and mesh is adopted, which minimizes the communication between processes. Finally, performance analysis running over multicore and multinode architectures are presented. The Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy number used influences the efficiency of the parallelization and, in some cases, a weighted partitioning can be used to improve the speed-up. However the total cputime for cases presented is lower than that obtained when using classical Eulerian strategies.
