The forward and backward Euler finite-difference schemes, and LOD scheme are typical representatives of three general classes of parallel algorithms used to solve multidimensional parabolic initial-boundary value problems. All algorithms are modified to take into account additional nonlocal boundary condition. The algorithms are implemented using the parallel array object tool ParSol, then a parallel algorithm follows semi-automatically from the serial one. Results of computational experiments are presented and the accuracy and efficiency of the presented parallel algorithms are tested.</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>parallel algorithms</kwd><kwd>finite-difference schemes</kwd><kwd>parabolic problems</kwd><kwd>nonlocal conditions</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
