Abstract Application such as data communications and signal processing require extensive processing power, but when the DSP processing power is not sufficient, the only alternatives have been to add multiple DSP processors or use custom gate arrays. Multiple processor solutions are expensive, require many components, consume too much power and the solution does not always provide the performance needed to differentiate products. Custom gate array solutions deliver the performance but sacrifice...

Abstract FISHES, otherwise known as Fully Implicit Hydrothermal Event Simulator, simulates two-phase fluid flow in a porous matrix saturated with NaCl-H₂0. We discuss the addition of MUMPS, Multifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver, to FISHES. MUMPS is a tool that offers solutions to large linear systems that present complex arithmetic to achieve parallel factorization. We address the use of MPI (Message Passing Interface) and its implmentation with MUMPS to offer a parallel computing...
