چکیده
In the design of high-performance applications eecient performance prediction is essential in order to evaluate the parallelization strategy. We present a performance simulation approach which enables a quick, yet accurate prediction of the eeect of mapping strategies and architectural parameters on the performance of parallel Finite Element Method (FEM) solvers for distributed-memory machines.

Parallel Octree-Based Finite Element Method for Large-Scale Earthquake Ground Motion Simulation
We present a parallel octree-based finite element method for large-scale earthquake ground motion simulation in realistic basins. The octree representation combines the low memory per node and good cache performance of finite difference methods with the spatial adaptivity to local seismic wavelengths characteristic of unstructured finite element methods. Several tests are provided to verify the...
