Abstract

 

Parallel mesh generation is relatively new research areas transcending the boundaries of two scientific computing disciplines: computational geometry and parallel computing. We will present practical aspects related to the implementation of parallel mesh generation methods on current and emerging architectures. Parallel mesh generation methods decompose the original mesh generation problem into smaller sub-problems which are solved in parallel. We will organize the parallel mesh generation methods in terms of the degree of coupling between the sub-problems. We will identify common abstractions and overview existing parallel mesh generation methods.
