Abstract
This appendix discusses some of the computational issues involved in the implementation of the finite element algorithm. The first section examines some of the methods used to implement unstructured grid algorithms on vector-parallel supercomputers. Next, the issue of computer memory requirements is addressed and ways to reduce the memory required at any particular time are proposed. Finally, a discussion of some of the data structures used in the adaptive algorithm is presented.
