چکیده

This paper discusses the Schur complement viewpoint when developing parallel preconditioners for general sparse linear systems. Schur complement methods are pervasive in numerical linear algebra where they represent a canonical way of implementing divide-and-conquer principles. The goal of this note is to give a brief overview of recent progress made in using these techniques for solving general, irregularly structured, sparse linear systems. The emphasis is to point out the impact of Domain Decomposition ideas on the design of general purpose sparse system solution methods, as well as to show ideas that are of a purely algebraic nature.

Distributed Schur Complement Techniques for General Sparse Linear Systems

This paper presents a few preconditioning techniques for solving general sparse linear systems on distributed memory environments. These techniques utilize the Schur complement system for deriving the preconditioning matrix in a number of ways. Two of these pre-conditioners consist of an approximate solution process for the global system, which exploit approximate LU factorizations for diagonal...

Distributed block independent set algorithms and parallel multilevel ILU preconditioners

We present a class of parallel preconditioning strategies utilizing multilevel block incomplete LU (ILU) factorization techniques to solve large sparse linear systems. The preconditioners are constructed by exploiting the concept of block independent sets (BISs). Two algorithms for constructing BISs of a sparse matrix in a distributed environment are proposed. We compare a few implementations o...
