Solution of Large Engineering Problems on Parallel Computers

摘要

This contribution reviews utilization of parallel computers in various engineering problems. First, parallel computers are classified and a very short review of the most powerful computers is presented. Then, engineering problems are sorted with respect to possible parallelization. Finally, two examples of different utilization of parallel computers are described. Domain decomposition method based on the Schur complement method is the first example and a multi-scale analysis of masonry structure is the second one.
