MP_SOLVE

Abstract

The mp_solve software package is for solving large, irregular, sparse systems of equations with multiple excitation vectors on distributed memory parallel computers using LU factorization. The MPI communications library is used for interprocessor communications. The Chaco graph partitioning software from Sandia National Laboratories is used to obtain a nested-dissection partition of the system of equations on a serial computer before the parallel solver is used.

Name

MP_SOLVE

TargetEnvironment

The software has been tested on the Convex SPP-2000, an Intel-based beowulf system with ethernet networking and an Intel-based beowulf system with myrinet networking. The mp_solve application requires that the host machine be capable of running MPI and has access to the optimized BLAS libraries.

TitleLine

is used to solve sparse, irregular systems of equations with multiple right-hand sides on distributed memory, multiprocessor computers having the MPI communications library
