Jt. Oden et A. Patra, A PARALLEL ADAPTIVE STRATEGY FOR HP FINITE-ELEMENT COMPUTATIONS, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 121(1-4), 1995, pp. 449-470
In this work, a new three-step adaptive strategy for hp finite element
discretizations is presented. Techniques for parallelizing these calc
ulations on distributed memory multiprocessor computers are also devel
oped. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate convergence propertie
s and parallel efficiencies. Orders of magnitude reduction in computat
ional efficiency over conventional methods are observed.
