A Nested Dissection Approach for Sparse Matrix Partitioning
We consider how to partition and distribute sparse matrices among processors to reduce communication cost in sparse matrix computations, in particular, sparse matrix-vector multiplication. We consider 2d distributions, where the distribution is not constrained to just rows or columns. We present a new model and an algorithm based on vertex separators and nested dissection. Preliminary numerical...
متن کاملA Nested Dissection Approach to Sparse Matrix Partitioning for Parallel Computations
We consider how to distribute sparse matrices among processes to reduce communication costs in parallel sparse matrix computations, specifically, sparse matrix-vector multiplication. Our main contributions are: (i) an exact graph model for communication with general (two-dimensional) matrix distribution, and (ii) a recursive partitioning algorithm based on nested dissection (substructuring). We...
متن کاملComparing Nested Dissection Orderings for Parallel Sparse Matrix Factorization
In this paper we compare nested dissection orderings obtained by diierent graph bisection heuristics. In the context of parallel sparse matrix factorization the quality of an ordering is not only determined by its ll reducing capability, but also depends on the dif-culty with which a balanced mapping of the load onto the processors of the parallel computer can be found. Our analysis shows that ...
متن کاملHybridizing Nested Dissection and Halo Approximate Minimum Degree for Efficient Sparse Matrix Ordering
Minimum Degree and Nested Dissection are the two most popular reordering schemes used to reduce ll-in and operation count when factoring and solving sparse matrices. Most of the state-of-the-art ordering packages hybridize these methods by performing incomplete Nested Dissection and ordering by Minimum Degree the subgraphs associated with the leaves of the separation tree, but to date only loos...
متن کاملRevisiting Hypergraph Models for Sparse Matrix Partitioning
We provide an exposition of hypergraph models for parallelizing sparse matrix-vector multiplies. Our aim is to emphasize the expressive power of hypergraph models. First, we set forth an elementary hypergraph model for parallel matrix-vector multiply based on one-dimensional (1D) matrix partitioning. In the elementary model, the vertices represent the data of a matrix-vector multiply, and the n...
