Abstract
In this paper we present a parallel run-time system for the efficient implementation of adaptive applications on distributed memory machines. Our approach is application driven; the target applications are characterized by very large variations in time and length scales. Preliminary performance data from parallel unstructured adaptive mesh refinement on an SP machine suggest that the flexibility of our approach does not cause undue overhead.
