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.
Exploitation Route The development of improved software will allow the techniques to be used in a vast range of sectors and applications.

Description Collaboration with researchers at Hull has allowed us to develop faster and more efficient solvers for the medical engineering problems that they study. We are now seeking to extend this to a more general framework that can be picked up and used by other researchers in this application domain.
