Abstract
The European research project PARASOL aimed to design and develop a public domain library of scalable sparse matrix solvers for distributed memory computers. Parallab was a partner in the project and developed a domain decomposition code for solving large scale finite element problems in a robust, yet efficient way. Although the PARASOL project finished in June 1999, Parallab has continued the development of the solver. In this paper, we report on the present status of the solver and show its performance on some challenging industrial problems.
This work has been partially supported by the PARASOL project (EU ESPRIT IV LTR Project 20160).
The work of this author has also been partially supported through the Polish Scien- tific Comittee research grant KBN 2P03A02116.
