Abstract

In a paralIel linear system solution, an efficient usage of a multiprocessor system is usually achieved by implementing algorithms with high degree of parallelism and good convergence properties as well as by tuning parallel codes to a particular system. Among the software tools that facilitate this development is PSPARSLIB, a suite of codes for solving sparse linear systems of equations. PSPARSLIB takes a modular approach to constructing a solution method and has logic-transparent computational kernels that can be adapted to the problem at hand. Here, we outline a few parallel solution methods incorporated recently in PSPARSLIB. We give a rationale for implementing these techniques and present several numerical experiments.
