+\subsection{3D Poisson}
+
We use our two-stage algorithms to solve the well-known Poisson problem $\nabla^2\phi=f$~\cite{Polyanin01}. In three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the problem takes the following form
\begin{equation}
where the real-valued function $\phi(x,y,z)$ is the solution sought, $f(x,y,z)$ is a known function and $\Omega=[0,1]^3$. The 3D discretization of the Laplace operator $\nabla^2$ with the finite difference scheme includes 7 points stencil on the computational grid. The numerical approximation of the Poisson problem on three-dimensional grid is repeatedly computed as $\phi=\phi^\star$ such that
\begin{equation}
\begin{array}{ll}
- \phi^\star(x,y,z)= & \frac{1}{6}(\phi(x-h,y,z)+\phi(x+h,y,z) \\
- & +\phi(x,y-h,z)+\phi(x,y+h,z) \\
- & +\phi(x,y,z-h)+\phi(x,y,z+h)\\
- & -h^2f(x,y,z))
+ \phi^\star(x,y,z)=&\frac{1}{6}(\phi(x-h,y,z)+\phi(x,y-h,z)+\phi(x,y,z-h)\\&+\phi(x+h,y,z)+\phi(x,y+h,z)+\phi(x,y,z+h)\\&-h^2f(x,y,z))
\end{array}
\label{eq:08}
\end{equation}
until convergence where $h$ is the grid spacing between two adjacent elements in the 3D computational grid.
- In the parallel context, the 3D Poisson problem is partitioned into $L\times p$ sub-problems such that $L$ is the number of clusters and $p$ is the number of processors in each cluster. We apply the three-dimensional partitioning instead of the row-by-row one in order to reduce the size of the data shared at the sub-problems boundaries. In this case, each processor is in charge of parallelepipedic sub-problem and has at most six neighbors in the same cluster or in distant clusters with which it shares data at boundaries.
