Scalable Multigrid Solvers

Ray Tuminaro, Jonathan Hu, Chris Siefert

Overview

  • ML: algebraic multigrid project in Trilinos for solving Ax=b
  • Capabilities:  classical elliptic, magnetics, convection-dominated
  • Accomplishments: new magnetics reformulation (1), AMG for nonsymmetric problems (2)

Magnetics Reformulation

  • Exact reformulation, Laplace-dominated system
  • Special AMG for fine level only
  • Standard AMG for other levels
  • Insensitive to jumps in (conductivity)

Relevance

Red Storm Weak Scaling
