To perform a finite element simulation, you must first construct a mesh of the object being analyzed. To parallelize a grid-based calculation you need to divide the grid into pieces. This can be done with the widely used and oft-imitated Chaco tool. Many scientific simulations require the solution of a linear or nonlinear set of equations. In parallel, this is greatly simplified by Aztec .
Many problems require the search for an optimal solution within a large parameter space.
To solve this problem, the Dakota optimization toolkit provides the user with a wide range of algorithms. Visualization Sandia's work in advanced visualization has two broad thrusts. First is an effort to automate the visualization of extremely large datasets, like those generated by simulations on massively parallel computers. This effort includes work on large data and parallel visualizations , parallel rendering of large volumes and isosurface extraction using particle systems . The second thrust is to improve the user interfaces to allow for complex interactions with datasets.
