The implementation is based on the so-called vectorized approach applied to the computation of the finite element matrices and assembly of the global finite element matrix. The code supports both 2D and 3D domains, and the finite elements can be triangular, rectangular, tetrahedral or hexahedral. The code can also be easily modified to import user-provided meshes. We comment on our freely available code and present a performance comparison with the standard approach.11 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
