Parallel self-adaptive hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM)

L. Demkowicz L., J. Kurtz, D. Pardo, M. Paszyński, W. Rachowicz, A. Zdunek, Computing with hp-Finite Elements. Volume 2 Frontiers: Three Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems With Applications, Chapmann & Hall, 2007

 

-      Joint work with Leszek Demkowicz, David Pardo, Jason Kurtz

-      Developemnt of par2Dhp and par3Dhp - a 2D and 3D, parallel fully automatic hp-adaptive finite element method codes. The parallel implementation is an extension of the sequential codes 2Dhp90 and 3Dhp90, which generates fully automatic hp-approximations for solutions of various boundary value problems.

-      The work addresses parallelization of each stage of the automatic hp-adaptive algorithm, including decomposition of the computational domain, load balancing and data redistribution, a parallel frontal solver, and algorithms for parallel mesh refinement and mesh reconciliation.

-      The application was written in Fortran 90 and MPI, and the load balancing is done through an interface with the Zoltan library.

 

Parallel direct solver for self-adaptive hp-FEM

 

Selected publications:

M. Paszyński, D. Pardo, C. Torres-Verdin, L.Demkowicz, V.M. Calo, A Parallel Direct Solver for Self-Adaptive hp Finite Element Method, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, 2009, in press.

 

-      Joint work with David Pardo, Carlos Torres-Verdin, Leszek Demkowicz and Victor Calo

-      Development of a new parallel direct solver for self-adaptive hp-FEM

-      The parallel solver works on the three-level elimination tree, distributed into processors:
(1) the refinement tree growing from initial mesh elements,
(2) the initial mesh element tree, and
(3) the sub-domain tree resulting from the domain decomposition.

-      The solver computes Schur complements at every tree node, by performing partial forward elimination, leaving untouched partially assembled (or unassembled) d.o.f. The Schur complements are stored at tree nodes, and can be re-utilized when solving subsequent hp meshes (produced by the self-adaptive strategy), when these hp meshes contain elements that have not been refined, as it typically occurs in real applications.

M. Paszyński, On the Parallelization of Self-Adaptive hp Finite Element Methods, Part II Partitioning Communication Agglomeration Mapping Analysis, Fundamenta Informaticae, 43(9), 2009, p.435-457

 

-      Joint work with Robert Schaefer, Anna Paszyńska and Ewa Grabska

-      Development of CP-graph grammar model of self-adaptive hp-FEM

-      The adaptive algorithms are expressed in terms of graph grammar productions, and the order of executions of graph grammar productions is prescribed by control diagrams

-      The basic computational task within the model of concurrency is assumed as a single graph grammar production

-      The model allows to exploit the concurrency hidden within the self-adaptive hp-FEM, by analyzing logical independence of particular productions

Simulations of different physical phenomena

Acoustics of the human head

 

Selected publications:

M. Paszyński, L. Demkowicz, J. Kurtz, Towards Finite Element Modeling of the Acoustics of Human Head, PWASET vol. 36, 2008

 

-      Joint work with Leszek Demkowicz, Jason Kurtz and Jessica Zhang

-      The cochlea is a fluid-filled cavity in the temporal bone of the skull, lined with tiny hairs that convert mechanical vibrations to electrical signals in the auditory nerve

-      Under normal circumstances, acoustic waves travel into the ear canal and are transmitted from the ear drum to the oval window of the cochlea by a linkage of three small bones in the middle ear

-      Underwater or in noisy environments, acoustic waves are also converted to elastic waves in the tissue and skull that reach the cochlea

-      The goal of this project is to simulate both of these hearing mechanisms and determine the relative potential for damage to the cochlea
