Abstract
A Python language scripting interface for optimised numerical software written in C/C++ has been designed to facilitate the rapid development of 3D parallel simulations on the Altix 3700. A recent advance focusing on the extensions implemented within a high performance finite element kernel module is described. Performance issues, measurements and results on the Altix 3700 are presented.
