Abstract

In past few years, we have resorted to the methodology of special-purpose computer in order to accelerate the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Here we applied a special-purpose computer MDGRAPE-2 to the acceleration of the BIEM for three-dimensional elastostatics. The formulation was developed so that MDGRAPE-2 can evaluate the layer-potentials of the BIEM. The implemented BIEM code using MDGRAPE-2 and the iterative solver GMRES was nearly 70 or more times faster than the naive BIEM code in solving a boundary value problem with 3.9 million unknowns.
