With the development of the electronic technology, the processors count in a supercomputer reaches million scales. However, the processes scale of a application is limited to several thousands, and the scalability face a bottle neck from several aspects, including I/O, communication, cache access .etc. In this paper, we focus on the communication bottleneck to the scalability of linear algebraic equation solve. We take preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) as an example, and analysis the feathers of the communication operations in the process of PCG solver. We find that reduce communication is the most critical issue for the scalability of the parallel iterative method for linear algebraic equation solve. We propose a local residual error optimization scheme to eliminate part of the reduce communication operations in the parallel iterative method, and improve the scalability of the parallel iterative method. Experimental results on the Tianhe-2 supercomputer demonstrate that our optimization scheme can achieve a much signally effect for the scalability of the linear algebraic equation solve.

Systems of nonlinear equations often arise when modeling processes of different nature. These can be both independent problems describing physical processes and also problems arising at the intermediate stage of solving more complex mathematical problems. Usually, these are high-order tasks with the big count of un-knows, that better take into account the local features of the process or the things that are modeled. In addition, more accurate discrete models allow for more accurate solutions. Usually, the matrices of such problems have a sparse structure. Often the structure of sparse matrices is one of next: band, profile, block-diagonal with bordering, etc. In many cases, the matrices of the discrete problems are symmetric and positively defined or half-defined. The solution of systems of nonlinear equations is performed mainly by iterative methods based on the Newton method, which has a high convergence rate (quadratic) near the solution, provided that the initial approximation lies in the area of gravity of the solution. In this case, the method requires, at each iteration, to calculates the Jacobi matrix and to further solving systems of linear algebraic equations. As a consequence, the complexity of one iteration is. Using the parallel computations in the step of the solving of systems of linear algebraic equations greatly accelerates the process of finding the solution of systems of nonlinear equations. In the paper, a new method for solving systems of nonlinear high-order equations with the Jacobi block matrix is proposed. The basis of the new method is to combine the classical algorithm of the Newton method with an efficient small-tile algorithm for solving systems of linear equations with sparse matrices. The times of solving the systems of nonlinear equations of different orders on the nodes of the SKIT supercomputer are given.

Abstract The objective of this research is to develop and to study iterative methods in the Krylov subspaces for solving systems of linear algebraic equations (SLAEs) with non-symmetric sparse matrices of high orders arising in the approximation of multi-dimensional boundary value problems on the unstructured grids. These methods are also relevant in many applications, including diffusion-convection equations. The considered algorithms are based on constructing ATA — orthogonal direction vectors calculated using short recursions and providing global minimization of a residual at each iteration. Methods based on the Lanczos orthogonalization, AT — preconditioned conjugate residuals algorithm, as well as the left Gauss transform for the original SLAEs are implemented. In addition, the efficiency of these iterative processes is investigated when solving algebraic preconditioned systems using an approximate factorization of the original matrix in the Eisenstat modification. The results of a set of computational experiments for various grids and values of convective coefficients are presented, which demonstrate a sufficiently high efficiency of the approaches under consideration.
