Dimension-adaptive sparse grid interpolation is a powerful tool to obtain surrogate functions of smooth, medium to high-dimensional objective models. In case of expensive models, the efficiency of the sparse grid algorithm is governed by the time required for the function evaluations. In this paper, we first briefly analyze the inherent parallelism of the standard dimension-adaptive algorithm. Then, we present an enhanced version of the standard algorithm that permits, in each step of the algorithm, a specified number (equal to the number of desired processes) of function evaluations to be executed in parallel, thereby increasing the parallel efficiency.

AbstractSparse grids are the basis for efficient high dimensional approximation and have recently been applied successfully to predictive modelling. They are spanned by a collection of simpler function spaces represented by regular grids. The sparse grid combination technique prescribes how approximations on a collection of anisotropic grids can be combined to approximate high dimensional functions.In this paper we study the parallelisation of fitting data onto a sparse grid. The computation can be done entirely by fitting partial models on a collection of regular grids. This allows parallelism over the collection of grids. In addition, each of the partial grid fits can be parallelised as well, both in the assembly phase, where parallelism is done over the data, and in the solution stage using traditional parallel solvers for the resulting PDEs. Using a simple timing model we confirm that the most effective methods are obtained when both types of parallelism are used.
