Abstract :
This paper deals with a concurrent version of the finite element time domain method. The algorithm works in SPMD mode and is executed in the MPI distributed environment. Its properties are validated with some different multi-computer, loosely coupled platforms. The real value and approximated asymptotic values of the basic metrics of speedup are presented and discussed.
