Some new technics regarding the parallelisation of ZéBuLoN, an object oriented finite element code for structural mechanics
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Special issue on Programming, Tome 36 (2002) no. 5, pp. 923-935.

A finite element code, called ZéBuLoN was parallelised some years ago. This code is entirely written using an object oriented framework (C++ is the support language). The aim of this paper is to present some problems which arose during the parallelization, and some innovative solutions. Especially, a new concept of message passing is presented which allows to take into account SMP machines while still using the parallel virtual machine abstraction.
