Variants of the classical AS method, which use modifications of the
|
|
restriction and prolongation operators, are also implemented in MLD2P4.
|
|
Among them, the Restricted AS (RAS) preconditioner usually
|
|
outperforms the classical AS preconditioner in terms of convergence
|
|
rate and of computation and communication time on parallel distributed-memory
|
|
computers, and is therefore the most widely used among the AS
|
|
preconditioners [<A

third-party libraries reported in Section <A HREF="node8.html#sec:third-party">3.2</A>, can be applied

|
as coarsest-level solvers by MLD2P4. Native inexact solvers based on
|
|
incomplete LU factorizations, as well as Jacobi, hybrid (forward) Gauss-Seidel,
|
|
and block Jacobi preconditioners are also available. Direct solvers usually
|
|
lead to more effective preconditioners in terms of algorithmic scalability;
|
|
however, this does not guarantee parallel efficiency.
