Abstract / Description of output

This paper describes steps taken to optimise COSA for large scale parallel simulations. Optimising the general computational structure of Fluidity, along with work to improve the data decomposition and parallel load balance enabled simulations to be run over 3x faster than with the original code, even at scale.
