Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description We have developed a better understanding of the impact of asynchronous communication on a range of iterative methods for the solution of finite element discretizations. We have used this knowledge to enhance the parallel application of algebraic multigrid by substantially reducing the amount of synchronization required at the coarsest level. The VOX-FE software has improved functionality, it is currently being developed further.
Exploitation Route The development of improved software will allow the techniques to be used in a vast range of sectors and applications.

Description Non-academic inputs are at an early stage, but the VOX-FE software is now being used as part of a Prosperity Partnership award - A new partnership in offshore wind (EP/R004900/1) - to design next generation wind turbine blades using biomimetic principles based around the structure of bone.
