Abstract
The parallel implementation of 3-dimensional adaptive finite element methods (FEM) on recent clusters of SMPs has to deal with dynamic load increase due to adaptive refinement which might result in load imbalances. Additionally, the irregular behavior of adaptive FEM causes further impacts like varying cache effects or communication costs which make a redistribution strategy more complex. In this paper we investigate the interaction of these effects and the performance behavior of parallel adaptive FEM and present several performance results on recent SMP clusters.
