Abstract
At present, meshless element free Galerkin (EFG) method is being successfully applied in the areas such as solid mechanics, fracture mechanics and thermal. Being a meshless method, it has many advantages over finite element method. One big hurdle with the wide implementation of this method is its computational cost. Therefore, in this paper, a parallel algorithm is proposed for the EFG method. The parallel code has been written in FORTRAN language using MPI message passing library and executed on a four node (eight processors) MIMD type, distributed memory 'PARAM 10000' parallel computer. The total time, communication time, speedup and efficiency have been estimated for a three-dimensional heat transfer problem to validate the proposed algorithm. For eight processors, the speedup and efficiency are obtained to be 4.66 and 58.22%, respectively, for a data size of 1320 nodes.
