Chapter 19: MPI

To execute in parallel on multi-processor machines and speed-up the computation, FENSAP-ICE runs within the MPI communication framework. The software packages that can be run in parallel are:

  • FENSAP

  • DROP3D

  • ICE3D

  • C3D

  • OptiGrid

MPI is a commonly available communication system that enables multiple copies of the same executable to run in parallel, either on the same machine or over a network of machines. All copies work on a separate part of the problem and communicate with each other to exchange data and solve the overall problem.
