| Abstract | This paper discusses the development of an automatic mesh generation technique designed to effectively operate on multiple instruction, multiple data (MIMD) parallel computers. The paper first provides an overview of a new octree-based procedure designed for the parallel generation of meshes of large numbers of elements directly from solid model representations. The techniques required to implement such a procedure using message passing on MIMD computers are emphasized. Technical issues considered include the region meshing algorithm, multiple octant migration and incremental load balancing. |
