Abstract
The increasing complexity of numerical models and the requirement for more computational power is covered by multi-processor and multi-core hardware architectures. In order to exploit the capabilities of these machines, parallel algorithms are necessary. Therefore, the following article will describe first attempts in parallelizing the finite-element code PANDAS through an interface to the parallel software framework Dune. In this regard, this connection will overcome the computational limits of the sequential finite-element code PANDAS by introducing its material definitions to the Dune framework, in particular, to the external Dune module Dune-PDELab. As a first example, the propagation of a two-dimensional elastic shear-wave through a fluid-saturated soil will be analyzed in a non-parallel environment.
