Parallel Element-Based Algebraic Multigrid for H (Curl) And H (Div) Problems Using the Parelag Library
This paper presents the use of element-based algebraic multigrid (AMGe) hierarchies, implemented in the Parallel Element Agglomeration Algebraic Multigrid Upscaling and Solvers (ParELAG) library, to produce multilevel preconditioners and solvers for H (curl) and H (div) formulations. ParELAG constructs hierarchies of compatible nested spaces, forming an exact de Rham sequence on each level. This allows the application of hybrid smoothers on all levels and the Auxiliary-Space Maxwell Solver or the Auxiliary-Space Divergence Solver on the coarsest levels, obtaining complete multigrid cycles. Numerical results are presented, showing the parallel performance of the proposed methods. As a part of the exposition, this paper demonstrates some of the capabilities of ParELAG and outlines some of the components and procedures within the library

Preparing sparse solvers for exascale computing.
Sparse solvers provide essential functionality for a wide variety of scientific applications. Highly parallel sparse solvers are essential for continuing advances in high-fidelity, multi-physics and multi-scale simulations, especially as we target exascale platforms. This paper describes the challenges, strategies and progress of the US Department of Energy Exascale Computing project towards providing sparse solvers for exascale computing platforms. We address the demands of systems with thousands of high-performance node devices where exposing concurrency, hiding latency and creating alternative algorithms become essential. The efforts described here are works in progress, highlighting current success and upcoming challenges. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Numerical algorithms for high-performance computational science'
Parallel accelerated cyclic reduction preconditioner for three-dimensional elliptic PDEs with variable coefficients
We present a robust and scalable preconditioner for the solution of
large-scale linear systems that arise from the discretization of elliptic PDEs
amenable to rank compression. The preconditioner is based on hierarchical
low-rank approximations and the cyclic reduction method. The setup and
application phases of the preconditioner achieve log-linear complexity in
memory footprint and number of operations, and numerical experiments exhibit
good weak and strong scalability at large processor counts in a distributed
memory environment. Numerical experiments with linear systems that feature
symmetry and nonsymmetry, definiteness and indefiniteness, constant and
variable coefficients demonstrate the preconditioner applicability and
robustness. Furthermore, it is possible to control the number of iterations via
the accuracy threshold of the hierarchical matrix approximations and their
arithmetic operations, and the tuning of the admissibility condition parameter.
Together, these parameters allow for optimization of the memory requirements
and performance of the preconditioner.Comment: 24 pages, Elsevier Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics,

A Conservative Finite Element Solver for MHD Kinematics equations: Vector Potential method and Constraint Preconditioning
A new conservative finite element solver for the three-dimensional steady
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) kinematics equations is presented.The solver utilizes
magnetic vector potential and current density as solution variables, which are
discretized by H(curl)-conforming edge-element and H(div)-conforming face
element respectively. As a result, the divergence-free constraints of discrete
current density and magnetic induction are both satisfied. Moreover the
solutions also preserve the total magnetic helicity. The generated linear
algebraic equation is a typical dual saddle-point problem that is
ill-conditioned and indefinite. To efficiently solve it, we develop a block
preconditioner based on constraint preconditioning framework and devise a
preconditioned FGMRES solver. Numerical experiments verify the conservative
properties, the convergence rate of the discrete solutions and the robustness
of the preconditioner.Comment: 13 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1712.0892
