Abstract

The article presents the comparison of the implementation of the inverse problem in geoelectricalmethods in two different parallel computational environments. Combination of MonteCarlo method and Multistart algorithm was applied in the inversion process. Parallelizationwas done by fine grain decomposition. Execution time, speed-up and efficiency received forparallel algorithms in both computational environments were presented and analyzed.
