The shape derivative of the cost functional in a Bernoulli-type problem is characterized. The calculation of the derivative of the cost does not use the shape derivative of the state variable and is achieved under mild regularity conditions on the boundary of the domain.

We describe an efficient massively parallel implementation of our variant of the FETI type domain decomposition method called Total FETI with a lumped preconditioner. A special attention is paid to the discussion of several variants of parallelization of the action of the projections to the natural coarse grid and to the effective regularization of the stiffness matrices of the subdomains. Both numerical and parallel scalability of the proposed TFETI method are demonstrated on a 2D elastostatic benchmark up to 314,505,600 unknowns and 4800cores. The results are also important for implementation of scalable algorithms for the solution of nonlinear contact problems of elasticity by TFETI based domain decomposition method
