Abstract
En 中文
An improved generalized product-type bi-conjugate gradient (GPBi-CG) method (IGPBi-CG method, in brief) for solving large sparse linear systems with unsymmetrical coefficient matrices is proposed for distributed parallel environments. The method reduces three global synchronization points to two by reconstructing GPBi-CG method and the communication time required for the inner product can be efficiently overlapped with useful computation. The cost is only slightly increased computation time, which can be ignored compared with the reduction of communication time. Performance and isoefficiency analysis show that the IGPBi-CG method has better parallelism and scalability than the GPB-iCG method. Numerical experiments show that the scalability can be improved by a factor greater than 1.5 and the improvement in parallel communication performance approaches 33.3%. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
