Abstract
Since in many finite element problems, lots of opera tions are repetitive on elements, it is of great interest to study methods that use this repetition in order to vec torize and parallelize the computation. Among these ele ment by element methods we present a preconditioner for the conjugate gradient algorithm. We also present the results of computations run on an Alliant FX/8 machine.Keywords
