Application of a floating point systems AP190L array processor to finite element analysis
This report discusses the implementation of a finite element program on a Floating Point Systems AP190L array processor attached to a Univac 1182 host computer. The array processor was used to perform all calculations on the global system of linear equations including matrix assembly, matrix factoring and vector solution. A large scratch disk was attached directly to the array processor for storing the factored matrix. The remaining calculations, including data preparation, element matrix formation, stress integration and output display were performed by the host computer.
