Abstract
The demand for larger meshes motivates the development of efficient parallel automatic mesh generators. A parallel mesh generator can make efficient use of multi-processor computers and of the widespread availability of workstation networks. In this paper distributed parallel unstructured mesh generation for two and three-dimensional problems is demonstrated. Very large meshes up to 50 million elements have been generated on computers with medium sized resources.
