Abstract: Sparse matrix factorization algorithms are typically characterized by irregular memory access patterns that limit their performance on parallel-vector supercomputers. For symmetric problems, methods such as the multifrontal method replace irregular operations with dense matrix kernels. However, no efficient LU factorization algorithm based primarily on dense matrix kernels exists for matrices whose pattern is very unsymmetric. A new unsymmetric-pattern multifrontal method based on dense... (Update)
