	%X This paper presents work characterizing finite element
performance boundaries within which live, interactive finite element
modeling is feasible on current and emerging systems. These results
are based on wide-ranging tests performed using a prototype finite
element program implemented specifically for this study, thereby enabling
the unified investigation of numerous direct and iterative solver
strategies and implementations in a variety of modeling contexts.
The results are intended to be useful for researchers interested in
interactive analysis by providing baseline performance estimates, to
give guidance in matching solution strategies to problem domains,
and to spur further work addressing the challenge of extending the
present boundaries.
