Pipeline implementations of Neumann-Neumann and Dirichlet-Neumann waveform relaxation methods

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper is concerned with the reformulation of Neumann-Neumann Waveform Relaxation (NNWR) methods and Dirichlet-Neumann Waveform Relaxation (DNWR) methods, a family of parallel space-time approaches to solving time-dependent PDEs. By changing the order of the operations, pipeline-parallel computation of the waveform iterates are possible without changing the final solution. The parallel efficiency and the increased communication cost of the pipeline implementation is presented, along with weak scaling studies to show the effectiveness of the pipeline NNWR and DNWR algorithms.


The authors present and analyse pipeline implementations of Neumann-Neumann (NNWR) and Dirichlet-Neumann waveform relaxation (DNWR) methods for solving parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations in parallel. The proposed approaches are described for one-dimensional time-dependent problems. A review on the basic ideas of waveform relaxation methods is given. The main idea of the new approach is the decomposition of the time interval \([0,T]\) into non-overlapping subintervals. A pseudo-code for the pipeline implementation of the NNWR and the DNWR methods is given. Furthermore, the communication and the parallel efficiency of the new algorithms are analysed. For each method, a numerical example is presented which shows its efficiency.
