The algorithms are based on the nonˇ¤overlapping domain decomposition method where a mesh of elements is divided into layers assigned to different processes. Parallel programs implementing these algorithms are written in C using PVM calls. The efficiency of the parallel programs is verified on networked IBM RS/6000, Sun SPARCstations and HP 9000 workstations as well as on HP/Convex Exemplar SPPl000. %K Modelling and simulation %U http://www.csci.agh.edu.pl/24/1/cs2000%2D04.pdf
