Poster: Matrix Decomposition Based Conjugate Gradient Solver for Poisson Equation

Abstract

Finding a fast solver for the Poisson equation is important for many scientific applications. In this work, we design and develop a matrix decomposition based Conjugate Gradient (CG) solver, which leverages Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters to accelerate the calculation of the Poisson equation. Our experiments show that the new CG solver is highly scalable and achieves significant speedup over a CPU-based Multi-Grid (MG) solver.
