The author’s initiation into computing 40 years ago, and the early development of parallel computing paradigms within hardware and software systems which evolved at that time, are recounted in a personal trace. It was an optimal time to learn computing and the intuition gained has been of...

This contribution describes a parallel approach for determining the collision state of a large collection of ellipsoids. Collision detection is required in granular dynamics simulation where it can combine with a differential variational inequality solver or discrete element method to...

In this paper, we present a new approach for the parallel generation and partitioning of unstructured 3D Delaunay meshes. The new approach couples the mesh generation and partitioning problems into a single optimization problem. Traditionally, these two problems are solved separately, first...

A non-overlapping domain decomposition algorithm of Neumann–Neumann type for solving variational inequalities arising from the elliptic boundary value problems in two dimensions with unilateral boundary condition is presented. We suppose that boundary with inequality condition is...

Hydro-thermo-mechanical analysis of reactor vessels based on the finite element method is a very demanding task due to its complexity as well as the large number of unknowns. This contribution deals with efficient computer implementation of the coupled analysis and attention is also devoted to...

Modeling diffusion processes, such as drug deliver, bio-heat transfer, and the concentration change of cytokine for computational biology research, requires intensive computing resources as one must employ sequential numerical algorithms to obtain accurate numerical solutions, especially for...
