Title
Leveraging Data-Parallelism in ILUPACK using Graphics Processors
Abstract
In this paper, we address the exploitation of data parallelism for the solution of sparse symmetric positive definite linear systems via iterative methods on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). In particular, we accelerate the preconditioned CG-based iterative solver underlying the incomplete LU decomposition package (ILUPACK) by off-loading the most expensive computations i.e., The solution of sparse triangular systems and sparse matrix-vector products-to the hardware accelerator. The results collected using GPUs from the two most recent generations from NVIDIA (\"Fermi\" and \"Kepler\") and a benchmark test bed of sparse linear systems show that the GPU-enabled implementations deliver a notable reduction of the execution time, while maintaining the convergence rate and numerical properties of the original ILUPACK solver.
