A parallel direct solution approach based on domain decomposition method (DDM) and directed acyclic graph (DAG) scheduling is outlined. Computations are represented as a sequence of small tasks that operate on domains of DDM or dense matrix blocks of a reduced matrix. These tasks can be statically scheduled for parallel execution using their DAG dependencies and weights that depend on estimates of computation and communication costs. Performance comparison with MUMPS 5.1.2 on electrically large problems suggest up to 20% better parallel efficiency, 30% less memory and slightly faster in runtime, while maintaining the same accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
