. The ability to dynamically adapt an unstructured mesh is apowerful tool for solving computational problems with evolving physicalfeatures; however, an efficient parallel implementation is rather difficult.To address this problem, we have developed PLUM, an automaticportable framework for performing adaptive numerical computations ina message-passing environment. PLUM requires that all data be globallyredistributed after each mesh adaption to achieve load balance. Wepresent an...
