Terascale Optimal PDE
Simulations (TOPS) Collaboration
• Extend the sparse matrix solvers in PETSc in several ways
that will improve the efficiency of M3D
– Develop multilevel solvers for stiff PDE systems
– Addition of nonlinear Schwarz domain decomposition
– Refinements in implementation to improve cache utilization
• David Keyes and Barry Smith primary contacts
• Keyes visited Princeton on June 6
• M3D team visited Smith at Argonne in January
• Jardin on TOPS “Advisory Council”
• Jardin to attend briefing on CEMM at Aug 20 meeting in
Argonne
