Abstract

This paper describes and tests a parallel implementation of a factorized approximate inverse preconditioner (FSAI) to accelerate iterative linear system solvers. Such a preconditioner reveals an efficient accelerator of both Conjugate gradient and BiCGstab iterative methods in the parallel solution of large linear systems arising from the discretization of the advection-diffusion equation. The resulting message passing code allows the solution of large problems leading to a very cost-effective algorithm for the solution of large and sparse linear systems.
