Abstract

This paper introduces the multiplicative variant of the recently proposed asynchronous additive coarse-space correction method. The definition of an asynchronous extension of multiplicative correction is not straightforward; however, our analysis allows for usual asynchronous programming approaches. General asynchronous iterative models are explicitly devised both for shared or replicated coarse problems and for centralized or distributed ones. Convergence conditions are derived and shown to be satisfied for M-matrices, as also done for the additive case. Implementation aspects are discussed, which reveal the need for nonblocking synchronization for building the successive right-hand side vectors of the coarse problem. Optionally, a parameter allows for applying each coarse solution a maximum number of times, which has an impact on the algorithm efficiency. Numerical results on a high-speed homogeneous cluster confirm the practical efficiency of the asynchronous two-level method over its synchronous counterpart, even when it is not the case for the underlying one-level methods.
