Abstract

Domain Decomposition techniques constitute an important class of methods especially appropriate in a parallel computing environment, but only a few general purpose codes based on these techniques have been developed so far. In this work, we attempt to develop not only algorithms but also software libraries and tools to help in the parallel implementation of such techniques. These algorithms and tools form P-SPARSLIB, a library of distributed sparse iterative solvers.
