| Abstract: | We outline an approach for extending procedural finite-element software components using generic programming. A layer of generic
software components consisting of C++ containers and algorithms is used for parallelization of the finite-element solver and
for solver coupling in multi-physics applications. The advantages of generic programming in connection with finite-element
codes are discussed and compared with those of object-oriented programming. The use of the proposed generic programming techniques
is demonstrated in a tutorial fashion through basic illustrative examples as well as code excerpts from a large-scale finite-element
program for serial and parallel computing platforms.
