Abstract
This paper presents a general strategy, based on a high level of abstraction, designed in order to reduce the development time and cost of parallel explicit finite element codes. Such a level of abstraction provides a general, rigorous, and efficient framework to tackle the parallelisation of various solvers. The intention of this work is not to do an exhaustive study and make comparisons of different platforms, but rather to bring some quantitative input of the efficiency of the presented parallel implementation strategy. The results, obtained so far, show that a good scalability is achieved on parallel architectures such as the Cray T3D. They demonstrate that solutions that took days on a sequential machine can be reduced to hours or minutes on a parallel machine, such as the Cray T3D.
