'''Parallel mesh generation''' in [[numerical analysis]] is a new research area between the boundaries of two [[scientific computing]] disciplines: [[computational geometry]] and [[parallel computing]].<ref name="Chrisochoides">Nikos Chrisochoides, Parallel Mesh Generation, Chapter in ''Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations on Parallel Computers'', (Eds. Are Magnus Bruaset, Aslak Tveito), Springer-Verlag, pp 237-259, 2005.</ref> Parallel mesh generation methods decompose the original [[mesh generation]] problem into smaller subproblems which are solved (meshed) in parallel using multiple processors or threads. The existing parallel mesh generation methods can be classified in terms of two basic attributes:

#the sequential technique used for meshing the individual subproblems and
