摘要: In this paper we present an algorithm for partitioning the nodes of a graph into supernodes, which improves performance multifrontal method factorization large, sparse matrices on vector computers. This new first partitions fundamental supernodes. Next, using specified relaxation parameter, supernodes are coalesced in careful manner to create coarser supernode partition. Using partition generally introduces logically zero entries factor. is accompanied by decrease amount computations and data movement increase number dense operations. The storage required factor increased small amount. On collection moderately sized 3-D structures, speedups 3 20 percent Cray X-MP observed over allows no relaxed partition, now factorizes extremely electric power faster than general algorithm. addition, there potential considerably reducing communication requirements implementation local memory multiprocessor.
