Abstract:A scalable algorithm for solving compact banded linear systems on distributed memory architectures is presented. The proposed method factorizes the original system into two levels of memory hierarchies, and solves it using parallel cyclic reduction on both distributed and shared memory. This method has a lower communication footprint across distributed memory partitions compared to conventional algorithms involving data transpose or re-partitioning. The algorithm developed in this work is generalized to cyclic… Show more
