Challenges in Parallel Mesh Generation
It takes about ten to fifteen years to develop the algorithmic and software infrastructure for sequential industrial strength mesh generation libraries. Moreover, improvements in terms of quality, speed, and functionality are open ended and permanent which makes the task of delivering state-of-the-art parallel mesh generation codes even more difficult.
An area with immediate high benefits to parallel mesh generation is domain decomposition. The DD problem as it is posed in is still open for 3D geometries and its solution will help to deliver stable and scalable methods that rely on off-the-shelf mesh generation codes for Delaunay and Advancing Front Techniques.
Finally, a long term investment to parallel mesh generation is to attract the attention of mathematicians with open problems in mesh generation and broader impact in mathematics.

Famous quotes containing the words challenges, parallel and/or generation:
“A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each of these has a free pass in every city and village, ‘good for this generation only,’ and it depends on each to make use of this pass or not as it may happen to suit his or her fancy.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
