Computational Science Seminar

When: Wednesday, April 29, 2015
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Where: Textiles Building 105
Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar.

Speaker: Xiaozhe Hu (Tufts University)
Title: "Algebraic Multigrid Method and Its Parallelization"
Time: Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 2pm-3pm
Location: Textiles 105

Abstract: Developing parallel algorithms for solving large-scale sparse linear systems is an important and challenging task in scientific computing and practical applications. In this talk, I will introduce the unsmoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid method for solving large-scale linear systems. I will give theoretical justifications of its optimality for model problems and its parallelization, especially on graphic processing units. Two different parallel approaches will be discussed and numerical results will be presented to demonstrate their efficiency.
