            Abstract : 
The present study deals with parallel asynchronous iterations applied to the numerical solution of the obstacle problem defined in a three-dimensional domain. For the considered problem, the convergence analysis of the algorithm is made. Finally, the implementation of the algorithms are presented and computational experiments on IBM-SP3 are analysed.
