\emph{MLD2P4 (Multi-Level Domain Decomposition Parallel Preconditioners Package based on
|
||
|
PSBLAS}) is a package of parallel algebraic multi-level preconditioners.
|
||
|
It implements various versions of one-level additive and of multi-level additive
|
||
|
and hybrid Schwarz algorithms. In the multi-level case, a purely algebraic approach
|
||
|
is applied to generate coarse-level corrections, so that no geometric background is needed
|
||
|
concerning the matrix to be preconditioned. The matrix is required to be square, real or complex, with a symmetric sparsity pattern \textbf{Non consideriamo anche il caso non simmetrico
|
||
|
con $(A+A^T)/2$?}.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MLD2P4 has been designed to provide scalable and easy-to-use preconditioners in the
|
||
|
context of the PSBLAS (Parallel Sparse Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms)
|
||
|
computational framework and can be used in conjuction with the Krylov solvers
|
||
|
available in this framework. MLD2P4 enables the user to easily specify different aspects
|
||
|
of a generic algebraic multilevel Schwarz preconditioner, thus allowing to search
|
||
|
for the ``best'' preconditioner for the problem at hand. The package has been designed
|
||
|
employing object-oriented techniques, using Fortran 95 and MPI, with interfaces to
|
||
|
additional external libraries such as UMFPACK, SuperLU and SuperLU\_Dist, that
|
||
|
can be exploited in building multi-level preconditioners.
