Since this algorithm has a sequential nature, a decoupled
|
|
version of it is applied, where each processor independently executes
|
|
the algorithm on the set of indices assigned to it in the initial data
|
|
distribution. This version is embarrassingly parallel, since it does not require any data
|
|
communication. On the other hand, it may produce some nonuniform aggregates
|
|
and is strongly dependent on the number of processors and on the initial partitioning
|
|
of the matrix <IMG

|

|

ALT="$A$">. Nevertheless, this parallel algorithm has been chosen for
|
|
MLD2P4, since it has been shown to produce good results in practice
