In this paper, we discuss the parallel computation of the sensitivity analy
sis of systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) with a moderate n
umber of state variables and a large number of sensitivity parameters, Seve
ral parallel implementations based on DASSLSO are explored and their perfor
mance when using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) on an SGI Origin 2000
is compared, Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
