Abstract

This work deals with the parallel implementation of two Domain Decomposition methods: the Dirichlet/Neumann algorithm and the Three-Fields algorithm. We applied these procedures to elliptic boundary value problems, choosing the programming models suggested by a functional decomposition of each method. The considered algorithms were implemented on a HP-Convex Exemplar SPP2000 S-Class system, following the explicit message passing style and using PVM to perform interprocessor communication. We provide a careful analysis of execution times and parallel scalability, in order to highlight the good performance of the implemented algorithms on the considered parallel machine. In particular, we discuss communication and computation costs and investigate the influence on the achieved results of workload balancing and of architectural features such as interconnect networks and cache memories. Finally, for the Three-Fields procedure, we also discuss the implementation of multilevel parallelism.
