TL;DR: Performance evaluations of dynamic viscoelastic finite element procedures and codes on vector and parallel processing machines and the performances of the Cray sparse matrix and the Feable solvers are evaluated.
Abstract: The primary objectives of this study are performance evaluations of dynamic viscoelastic finite element procedures and codes on vector and parallel processing machines. Parametric studies on various CRAY machine architectures and benchmarks for various problem sizes are also undertaken. CRAY hardware performance monitors such as Flowtrace and Perftrace tools are used to obtain performance data for subroutine program modules and specified code segments. The performance of element stiffness computations is in the range of 121-183 mega floating-point operations per second (Mflops) on the NCSA CRAY-YMP. The performances of the Cray sparse matrix and the Feable solvers are also evaluated.
