supercomputing offers considerable promise for solving large problems of
practical interest, it is important to recognize that new algorithms and data
structures have to be developed to exploit the new discretization methods and
attack the intrinsic difficulties of the problem being addressed. Adaptive and
stabilized solution schemes based on error estimation also provide unique
challenges for solver technology. Current work in our group involves the
