Abstract: | Constraint preconditioners have proved very efficient for the solution of ill-conditioned finite element (FE) coupled consolidation
problems in a sequential computing environment. Their implementation on parallel computers, however, is not straightforward
because of their inherent sequentiality. The present paper describes a novel parallel inexact constraint preconditioner (ParICP)
for the efficient solution of linear algebraic systems arising from the FE discretization of the coupled poro-elasticity equations.
The ParICP implementation is based on the use of the block factorized sparse approximate inverse incomplete Cholesky preconditioner,
which is a very recent and effective development for the parallel preconditioning of symmetric positive definite matrices.
The ParICP performance is experimented with in real 3D coupled consolidation problems, proving a scalable and efficient implementation
of the constraint preconditioning for high-performance computing. ParICP appears to be a very robust algorithm for solving
ill-conditioned large-size coupled models in a parallel computing environment. |
