Abstract: Abstract In this contribution, a parallel implementation of the finite volume solver is introduced, designated to numerically solve the initial boundary value problem for the Allen–Cahn equation with anisotropy on large 3D grids. The choice of a suitable numerical scheme is discussed and its convergence properties are investigated by means of evaluation of the experimental order of convergence. Afterwards, the consequent limitations for the theoretical error estimate are pointed out. Furthermore, the results of parallel algorithm efficiency measurements are shown, based on extensive tests performed on high performance computing systems. The final part gives a brief overview of a magnetic resonance tractography (neural tract tracking and visualization) method consisting in the solution of the above problem.
