Abstract
Systems and methods for parallel incomplete LU (ILU) factorization in distributed sparse linear systems, which order nodes underlying the equations in the system(s) by dividing nodes into interior nodes and boundary nodes and assigning no more than three codes to distinguish the boundary nodes. Each code determines an ordering of the nodes, which in turn determines the order in which the equations will be factored and the solution performed.
