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.
