Factorized Sparse Approximate Inverses
- This is a dummy textLatest release is 1.1
We developed a sequential and highly scalable parallel C/C++ implementation
of the
known FSPAI (Factorized SParse Approximate Inverses) algorithm.
Note that there is a scalable implementation of Modified Sparse Approximate
Inverses (MSPAI) as well.
Theory
FSPAI is a preconditioner for large sparse and ill-conditioned symmetric positive
definite systems of linear equations. It is the factorized version of the SPAI
algorithm. FSPAI is inherently parallel and generates a preconditioner which
approximates the inverse of the Cholesky factor of the system matrix, i.e.,
Based on an initial chosen sparsity structure, FSPAI automatically updates its
sparsity structure and improves on a current approximation.
Features
- Single source providing
- highly scalable parallel implementation
- sequential (MPI free) implementation
- Support for real and complex valued problems
- PCG solver available using HYPRE package
- Arbitrary start patterns, i.e., possibility to compute a FSAI without
updating the pattern - Support for sparse methods using CXSparse by Tim Davis
- Caching and Hashing approach to avoid redundant Cholesky decompositions
- Written in C/C++
We are currently working on a next release which will cover a highly scalable
block version of FSPAI, i.e., BFSPAI.

FSPAI 1.1
In contrast to FSPAI 1.0, FSPAI 1.1 additionally requires CXSparse and UFconfig.
If you are not going to use the Fspai Caching/Hashing or the
sparse methods,
you can use FSPAI 1.0 instead.
