SUMMARYFor solving large dense complex linear systems that arise in electromagnetic calculations, we perform experiments using a general purpose spectral low rank update preconditioner in the context of the GMRES method preconditioned by an approximate inverse preconditioner. The goal of the spectral preconditioner is to improve the convergence properties by shifting by one the smallest eigenvalues of the original preconditioned system. Numerical experiments on parallel distributed memory computers are presented to illustrate the efficiency of this technique on large and challenging real-life industrial problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
