A Flexible, Parallel, Adaptive Geometric Multigrid method for FEM (1904.03317v2)
Published 5 Apr 2019 in cs.NA and cs.MS
Abstract: We present the design and implementation details of a geometric multigrid method on adaptively refined meshes for massively parallel computations. The method uses local smoothing on the refined part of the mesh. Partitioning is achieved by using a space filling curve for the leaf mesh and distributing ancestors in the hierarchy based on the leaves. We present a model of the efficiency of mesh hierarchy distribution and compare its predictions to runtime measurements. The algorithm is implemented as part of the deal.II finite element library and as such available to the public.
