Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "The objective of this work is to map certain algorithms for the efficient solution of a class of elliptic partial differential equations on an architecture with multiple levels of computational parallelism and hierarchical memory organization. The prototype system is the Cedar multicluster, developed at the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD) at the University of Illinois. In our experiments, each cluster of Cedar is a modified Alliant FX/8 with four processors. The algorithms we implement are parallel block cyclic reduction, and certain domain decomposition methods based on the Schur complement, for T-shaped regions
They are written to exploit the multiple cluster capabilities of the machine, as well as the concurrent and vector computational resources of each cluster. For each of these applications we obtain good multi- cluster performance: good speedups are obtained for the new implementations on multiple clusters of Cedar, relative to the implementations best suited for a single cluster. Most importantly, our experiments also point to advantages of the multi-cluster organization. For the case of block cyclic reduction, for example, the performance using the new multicluster algorithm on eight processors organized in two clusters is superior to that of the original parallel algorithm optimized for the eight faster processors of the Alliant FX/80.
