A parallel library for boundary element discretization of engineering problems

In this paper we present a software for parallel solution of engineering problems based on the boundary element method. The library is written in C++ and utilizes OpenMP and MPI for parallelization in both shared and distributed memory. We give an overview of the structure of the library and present numerical results related to 3D sound-hard scattering in an unbounded domain represented by the boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation. Scalability results for the assembly of system matrices sparsified by the adaptive cross approximation are also presented.
