Support graph preconditioners for sparse linear systems

Gupta, Radhika 17 February 2005 (has links)
Elliptic partial differential equations that are used to model physical phenomena give rise to large sparse linear systems. Such systems can be symmetric positive definite and can be solved by the preconditioned conjugate gradients method. In this thesis, we develop support graph preconditioners for symmetric positive definite matrices that arise from the finite element discretization of elliptic partial differential equations. An object oriented code is developed for the construction, integration and application of these preconditioners. Experimental results show that the advantages of support graph preconditioners are retained in the proposed extension to the finite element matrices.

Uma adaptação do MEF para análise em multicomputadores: aplicações em alguns modelos estruturais / Multicomputer finite element method analysis of usual structures models

Almeida, Valério da Silva 24 March 1999 (has links)
Neste trabalho, apresenta-se uma adaptação dos procedimentos utilizados nos códigos computacionais seqüenciais advindos do MEF, para utilizá-los em multicomputadores. Desenvolve-se uma rotina para a montagem do sistema linear particionado entre os diversos processadores. Resolve-se o sistema de equações lineares geradas mediante a rotina do PIM (Parallel Iterative Method). São feitas adaptações deste pacote para se aproveitar as características comuns do sistema linear gerado pelo MEF: esparsidade e simetria. A técnica de resolução do sistema em paralelo é otimizada com o uso de dois tipos de pré-condicionadores: a decomposição incompleta de Cholesky (IC) generalizado e o POLY(0) ou Jacobi. É feita uma aplicação para a solução de pavimento com o algoritmo-base totalmente paralelizado. Também é avaliada a solução do sistema de equações de uma treliça. Mostram-se resultados de speed-up, de eficiência e de tempo para estes dois modelos estruturais. Além disso, é feito um estudo em processamento seqüencial da performance dos pré-condicionadores genéricos (IC) e do advindo de uma série truncada de Neumann, também generalizada, utilizando-se modelos estruturais de placa e chapa. / This work presents an adaptation of conventional finite element method (FEM) computing procedures to multicomputers. It is presented the procedure which the linear system of equations is split among the processor and its solution. It was improved a public software called PIM (Parallel Iterative Method) is used to solve this system of equations. These improvements explore efficiently the usual features of the FEM systems of equations: sparseness and symmetry. To improve the solution of the system, two different preconditioners are used: a generic Incomplete Cholesky (IC) and the Polynomial preconditioning (POLY(0) or Jacobi). It is carried out a full adaptation of the method to parallel computing with a program developed to analyse floor structures. The improved PIM is also used to solve the system of equations of a tri-dimensional truss. It is presented the speed-up, the efficiency and the time used in the resolution of the systems of equations for the floor and for the truss. It is also presented a study of performance in sequential processing of the generic (IC) and the generic Neumann series preconditioners in the analysis of plates in bending and in plane actions.
