Computational Mechanics Analysis Tools for Parallel-Vector Supercomputers

Computational algorithms for structural analysis on parallel-vector supercomputers are reviewed. These parallel algorithms, developed by the authors, are for the assembly of structural equations, "out-of-core" strategies for linear equation solution, massively distributed-memory equation solution, unsymmetric equation solution, general eigen-solution, geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis, design sensitivity analysis for structural dynamics, optimization search analysis and domain decomposition. The source code for many these algorithms is available from NASA Langley (Email: O.O.Storaasli@larc.nasa.gov).
