Abstract

We describe a distributed parallel implementation of a Finite Element simulation used in the ophthalmic optics industry. We use non overlapped domain decomposition methods to perform the parallelization on a cluster of workstations. Different numerical techniques was implemented, and the code was tuned with performance analyzer for distributed parallel programs.
