In this paper we describe a new method for the ILU(0) factorization of sparse systems in distributed memory multiprocessor architectures. This method uses a symbolic reordering technique, so the final system can be grouped in blocks where the rows are independent and the factorization of these entries can be carried out in parallel. The parallel ILU(0) factorization has been tested on the Cray T3E multicomputer using the MPI communication library. The performance was analysed using matrices from the Harwell–Boeing collection.

AbstractThe Krylov subspace method has been investigated and refined for approximating the behaviors of finite or infinite dimensional linear operators. It has been used for approximating eigenvalues, solutions of linear equations, and operator functions acting on vectors. Recently, for time-series data analysis, much attention is being paid to the Krylov subspace method as a viable method for estimating the multiplications of a vector by an unknown linear operator referred to as a transfer operator. In this paper, we investigate a convergence analysis for Krylov subspace methods for estimating operator-vector multiplications.

An improved method is proposed based on compressed and Krylov-subspace iterative approaches to perform efficient static and transient simulations for large-scale power grid circuits. It is implemented with CG and BiCGStab algorithms and an excellent result has been obtained. Extensive experimental results on large-scale power grid circuits show that the present method is over 200 times faster than SPICE3 and around 10–20 times faster than ICCG method in transient simulations. Furthermore, the presented algorithm saves the memory usage over 95% of SPICE3 and 75% of ICCG method, respectively while the accuracy is not compromised.
