Archimedes is an automated system for finite element methods on unstructured
meshes using distributed memory supercomputers.  Its components include a mesh
generator, a mesh partitioner, and a data-parallel compiler whose input is C
augmented with machine-independent operations for finite element computations,
and whose output is parallel code for a particular multicomputer.  We describe
an elegant implementation of domain decomposition and give preliminary
performance results.
