A Static Parallel Multifrontal Solver for Finite Element Meshes
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present a static parallel implementation of the multifrontal method to solve unsymmetric sparse linear systems on distributed-memory architectures. We target Finite Element (FE) applications where numerical pivoting can be avoided, since an implicit minimum-degree ordering based on the FE mesh topology suffices to achieve numerical stability. Our strategy is static in the sense that work distribution and communication patterns are determined in a preprocessing phase preceding the actual
