Abstract

This study develops an OpenMP scheme to parallel the preconditioned conjugate gradient methods (PCG) in shared memory computers. The proposed method is simple and systematic, so a minor change in traditional PCG methods may produce effective parallelism. At first, the global stiffness matrix is re-numbered in order to produce a parallel three-line form matrix, and a subroutine only needs to be called once in the finite element analysis. Several basic OpenMP commands are then added into the traditional incomplete Cholesky factorization (ILU) and symmetric successive over-relaxation (SSOR) codes to make the procedures of matrix multiplication, decomposition, forward substitution, and backward substitution fully parallel.

Keywords
