Abstract

We investigate opportunities for parallel execution on PowerXCell 8i processors of numerical integration algorithm as it is used in finite element codes. Different kinds of problems and different types of finite element approximations are taken into account. We design and implement several parallelization strategies and test their performance for different situations. The results of analyses and tests can be used as a guideline for choosing the proper parallelization strategy for different problems and finite element discretizations.
