APPLICATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING TECHNIQUES (PARALLEL PROCESSING) TO THE MODELING OF COMPLEX COUPLED GEO-PROCESSES USING A FINITE ELEMENT APPROACH (GEOSYS/ROCKFLOW)
Dany Kemmler, Olaf Kolditz · 2005
This paper describes a finite element geo-process modeling software, which is able of solving multiphysics problems in the area of geo science. First results of a water resources management model for the Jordan Valley area are presented. These kind of problems are very demanding in terms of CPU time and memory space, which are typically not available on a single processor. Therefore a parallelization strategy based on domain decomposition is proposed, so that the usage of multiple processors of a parallel computing system is possible.
