Professor Gene Cliff, of Virginia Tech AOE Department / ICAM, prepared an extensive example of a 2D finite element program to solve the steady heat equation, while taking advantage of the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox's SPMD and distributed array facilities. As part of that work, he documented the algorithms, procedures and results involved.
