MFEM is a free, lightweight, scalable C++ library for finite element methods.
Features
- Arbitrary high-order finite element meshes and spaces.
- Wide variety of finite element discretization approaches.
- Conforming and nonconforming adaptive mesh refinement.
- Scalable to millions of parallel tasks and GPU-accelerated.
- ... and many more.
MFEM is used in many projects, including BLAST, VisIt, xSDK, SciDAC/FASTMath, and the co-design Center for Efficient Exascale Discretizations (CEED) in the Exascale Computing Project.
