Abstract

We present in this paper a well-scaling parallel approach of the finite element-domain decomposition method (FEM-DDM) for solving large scale 3D scattering problems on many-core SW26010 processors. In this parallel approach, the whole solution domain is first decomposed in a two-level hierarchical way to minimize the inter process communication. Then the FEM matrix of each unit-level subdomain to be solved in the iterative solution of the interface problem from FEM-DDM, is solved via another sparse approximate inverse (SPAI) preconditioner accelerated iterative solver. This inner–outer iteration scheme is further accelerated by exploring many-core parallelization, with specially designed sparse matrix vector multiplications to improve the data access efficiency. The performance achievements are investigated in terms of accuracy, speed up, and scalability.
