Parallel ICCG Solvers for a Finite-Element Eddy-Current Analysis on Heterogeneous Parallel Computation EnvironmentAbstract
This paper investigates fast electromagnetic field analysis on parallel computers mutually integrated by means of Grid computing technology. To utilize the heterogeneous parallel computation environment, we introduce four parallelized ICCG solvers: the block ICCG, load-balanced block ICCG, algebraic block redblack ordering, and recursive reordering methods. These solvers are evaluated in a finite edge-element eddycurrent analysis on integrated parallel computers.
