Abstract

In this paper we present a novel technique based on domain decomposition which enables us to perform the fast marching method (FMM) [4] on massive parallel high performance computers (HPC) for given triangulated geometries. The FMM is a widely used numerical method and one of the fastest serial state-of-the-art techniques for computing the solution to the Eikonal equation.
