A General Sparse Sparse Linear System Solver and Its Application in OpenFOAM

Abstract

Solution of large sparse linear systems is frequently the most time consuming operation in computational fluid dynamics simulations. Improving the scalability of this operation is likely to have significant impact on the overall scalability of application. In this white paper we show scalability results up to a thousand cores for a new algorithm devised to solve large sparse linear systems. We have also compared pure MPI vs. MPI-OpenMP hybrid implementation of the same algorithm
