Abstract

In this paper we study the parallel scalability of variants of an algebraic additive Schwarz preconditioner for the solution of large three dimensional convection diffusion problems in a non-overlapping domain decomposition framework. To alleviate the computational cost, both in terms of memory and floating-point complexity, we investigate variants based on a sparse approximation or on mixed 32- and 64-bit calculation. The robustness and the scalability of the preconditioners are investigated through extensive parallel experiments on up to 2,000 processors. Their efficiency from a numerical and parallel performance view point are reported.
