چکیده
In this article we consider strategies for exploiting supercomputer technology in solving the sparse matrix problems arising in process simulation and optimization. A new multifrontal solver for use in simulating equilibrium-stage processes and a new parallel frontal solver for large-grained parallel solution of process simulation and optimization problems are described. Results for several problems, including large-scale industrial problems, are given.

MULTIFRONTAL VS FRONTAL TECHNIQUES FOR ‘i. - CHEMICAL PROCESS SIMULATION ON ,. SUPERCOMPUTERS
A critical computational step in large-scale process simulation using rigorous equation-based models is the solution of a sparse linear equation system. Traditional sparse solvers based on indirect addressing are not effective on supercomputers because they do not vectorize well. By relying on vectorized dense matrix kernels, the multifrontal and frontal methods provide much better performance,...
متن کاملMatrix Reordering E ects on a Parallel Frontal Solver for Large Scale Process Simulation
For the simulation and optimization of large scale chemical processes, the overall computing time is often dominated by the time needed to solve a large sparse system of linear equations. A parallel frontal solver can be used to signi cantly reduce the wallclock time required to solve these linear equation systems using parallel/vector supercomputers. This is done by exploiting both multiproces...
