Partial Reuse AMG Setup Cost Amortization Strategy for the Solution of Non-Steady State Problems
share
The partial reuse algebraic multigrid (AMG) setup cost amortization strategy is presented for the solution of non-steady state problems. The transfer operators are reused from the previous time steps, and the system matrices and the smoother operators are rebuilt on each of the AMG hierarchy levels. It is shown on the example of modelling a two-fluid dam break scenario that the strategy may decrease the AMG preconditioner setup cost by 40 total compute time is decreased by up to 20 on the fraction of time that the setup step initially takes.
