Abstract

The structural finite element method has been widely used in modern architecture high-performance computing. And a lot of finite element tools based on parallel computing model have emerged. This paper analyzes and compares the difference between MPI and Map Reduce programming model. The combination of MPI and Map Reduce has been presented for the parallel finite element analysis based on the cloud computing environment. In this way, the existing structural software resources of parallel finite element analysis can be used with the advantages of cloud computing.
