Research has continued with excellent progress and new results on methodology and algorithms. We have also made supporting benchmark application studies on representative parallel computing architectures. Results from these research studies have been reported at scientific meetings, as technical reports and as journal publications. A list of pertinent presentations and publications is attached. The work on parallel element-by-element techniques and domain decomposition schemes has developed well. In particular, we have focused on the use of finite element spectral methods (or high p methods) on distributed massively parallel systems. The approach has been implemented in a prototype finite element program for solution of coupled Navier Stokes flow and transport processes. This class of problems is of fundamental interest and basic to many ``grand challenge`` type problems for which parallel supercomputing is warranted.
