BlockSolve95 is a scalable parallel software library primarily intended for the
|
|
solution of sparse linear systems that arise from physical models, especially
|
|
problems involving multiple degrees of freedom at each node. For example, when
|
|
the finite element method is used to solve practical problems in structural
|
|
engineering, each node typically has two to five degrees of freedom;
|
|
BlockSolve95 is designed to take advantage of problems with this type of local
|
|
structure. BlockSolve95 is also reasonably efficient for problems that have
|
|
only one degree of freedom associated with each node, such as the three-
|
|
dimensional Poisson problem.
|
|
|
|
BlockSolve95 is general purpose; we do not require that the matrices have any
|
|
particular structure other than being sparse and being symmetric in structure
|
|
(but not necessarily in value).
