      The paper studies parallel algorithm development feasibility for solving continuum mechanics problems and the efficiency of its multicomputer inplementa-tion. A problem to be solved is assumed to have as many processors as desired which form a homogeneous computer system running under a general - purpose computer control. For the main classes of difference schemes and a number of irregular grid methods, parallel algorithms, maximum - usage processor number, and potential computation speedup estimates are given.

      Second order equations, invariant with respect to space rotation are considered. A matrix structure with second derivatives is investigated. An explicit matrix form is found.
