MFEM 4.2 Released November 02, 2020

MFEM is a lightweight, general, scalable C++ library for finite element methods. Its goal is to enable high-performance scalable finite element discretization research and application development on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from laptops to supercomputers. The latest release includes several improvements and new features, such as:

• Improved performance and GPU capabilities (e.g., extended partial assembly algorithms and device support, explicit vectorization on Intel and IBM platforms)
• Support for various solvers (e.g, CVODES from SUNDIALS)
• Support for matrix-free geometric h- and p-multigrid
• Meshing and discretization improvements (e.g, TMOP r-adaptivity, extended GSLIB-FindPoints integration)
• 18 new examples and miniapps
• and much more!
