Abstract:With the multi-core processors developing, the computational power of PC is becoming more and more powerful and researchers and engineers expected to utilize the increased computational power of PC to enlarge studied scale and quicken solution time. This study deals with the parallelization of 2D solid static linear finite element code using shared memory s Parallel Sparse Direct Linear Solver (Pardiso). The code is fully parallelized with OpenMP directives. The parallel efficiency is evaluated. Then the parallelized FEM code is integrated with Rock Failure Process Analysis system (RFPA). The entire system is described. To demonstrate the performance and reliability of the code, an application of rock failure under uniaxial compression is performed.
