Parallel mesh generation in numerical analysis is a new research area between the boundaries of two scientific computing disciplines: computational geometry and parallel computing. Parallel mesh generation methods decompose the original mesh generation problem into smaller subproblems which are solved (meshed) in parallel using multiple processors or threads. The existing parallel mesh generation methods can be classified in terms of two basic attributes:
- the sequential technique used for meshing the individual subproblems and
- the degree of coupling between the subproblems.
One of the challenges in parallel mesh generation is to develop parallel meshing software using off-the-shelf sequential meshing codes.

Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or generation:
“As I look at the human story I see two stories. They run parallel and never meet. One is of people who live, as they can or must, the events that arrive; the other is of people who live, as they intend, the events they create.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes 1:4,5.
Ernest Hemingway’s book title The Sun Also Rises (1926)
