Let $Ax=b$ be a large sparse system of $n$ linear equations in $\mathbb{R}$, where $A$ is a sparse square and nonsingular matrix, $x$ is the solution vector and $b$ is the right-hand side vector. We use a multisplitting method based on the block Jacobi splitting to solve this linear system on a large scale platform composed of $L$ clusters of processors~\cite{o1985multi}. In this case, we apply a row-by-row splitting without overlapping -\[ -\left(\begin{array}{ccc} -A_{11} & \cdots & A_{1L} \\ -\vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ -A_{L1} & \cdots & A_{LL} -\end{array} \right) -\times -\left(\begin{array}{c} -X_1 \\ -\vdots\\ -X_L -\end{array} \right) -= -\left(\begin{array}{c} -B_1 \\ -\vdots\\ -B_L -\end{array} \right)\] +\begin{equation*} + \left(\begin{array}{ccc} + A_{11} & \cdots & A_{1L} \\ + \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ + A_{L1} & \cdots & A_{LL} + \end{array} \right) + \times + \left(\begin{array}{c} + X_1 \\ + \vdots\\ + X_L + \end{array} \right) + = + \left(\begin{array}{c} + B_1 \\ + \vdots\\ + B_L + \end{array} \right) +\end{equation*} in such a way that successive rows of matrix $A$ and both vectors $x$ and $b$ are assigned to one cluster, where for all $l,m\in\{1,\ldots,L\}$ $A_{lm}$ is a rectangular block of $A$ of size $n_l\times n_m$, $X_l$ and $B_l$ are sub-vectors of $x$ and $b$, respectively, of size $n_l$ each and $\sum_{l} n_l=\sum_{m} n_m=n$. The multisplitting method proceeds by iteration to solve in parallel the linear system on $L$ clusters of processors, in such a way each sub-system \begin{equation} -\left\{ -\begin{array}{l} -A_{ll}X_l = Y_l \mbox{,~such that}\\ -Y_l = B_l - \displaystyle\sum_{\substack{m=1\\ m\neq l}}^{L}A_{lm}X_m -\end{array} -\right. -\label{eq:4.1} + \label{eq:4.1} + \left\{ + \begin{array}{l} + A_{ll}X_l = Y_l \text{, such that}\\ + Y_l = B_l - \displaystyle\sum_{\substack{m=1\\ m\neq l}}^{L}A_{lm}X_m + \end{array} + \right. \end{equation} is solved independently by a cluster and communications are required to update the right-hand side sub-vector $Y_l$, such that the sub-vectors $X_m$ represent the data dependencies between the clusters. As each sub-system (\ref{eq:4.1}) is solved in parallel by a cluster of processors, our multisplitting method uses an iterative method as an inner solver which is easier to parallelize and more scalable than a direct method. In this work, we use the parallel algorithm of GMRES method~\cite{ref1} which is one of the most used iterative method by many researchers. @@ -277,14 +278,17 @@ is solved independently by a cluster and communications are required to update t \For {$k=0,1,2,\ldots$ until the global convergence} \State Restart outer iteration with $x^0=x^k$ \State Inner iteration: \Call{InnerSolver}{$x^0$, $k+1$} -\State Send shared elements of $X_l^{k+1}$ to neighboring clusters -\State Receive shared elements in $\{X_m^{k+1}\}_{m\neq l}$ +\State\label{algo:01:send} Send shared elements of $X_l^{k+1}$ to neighboring clusters +\State\label{algo:01:recv} Receive shared elements in $\{X_m^{k+1}\}_{m\neq l}$ \EndFor \Statex \Function {InnerSolver}{$x^0$, $k$} -\State Compute local right-hand side $Y_l$: \[Y_l = B_l - \sum\nolimits^L_{\substack{m=1 \\m\neq l}}A_{lm}X_m^0\] +\State Compute local right-hand side $Y_l$: + \begin{equation*} + Y_l = B_l - \sum\nolimits^L_{\substack{m=1\\ m\neq l}}A_{lm}X_m^0 + \end{equation*} \State Solving sub-system $A_{ll}X_l^k=Y_l$ with the parallel GMRES method \State \Return $X_l^k$ \EndFunction @@ -303,9 +307,9 @@ $\{A_{lm}\}_{m\neq l}$ are off-diagonal matrices of sparse matrix $A$ and $\{X_m\}_{m\neq l}$ contain vector elements of solution $x$ shared with neighboring clusters.
