ALEGRA Parallel Scaling for Shock in a Heterogeneous Structure

Carleton, James B.

We investigate the strong and weak parallel scaling performance of the ALEGRA multiphysics finite element program when solving a problem involving shock propagation through a heterogeneous material. We determine that ALEGRA scales well over a wide range of problem sizes, cores, and element sizes, and that scaling generally improves as the minimum element size in the mesh increases.
