Foil 27 Red Black Parallel Gauss Seidel I

From Collection of Extra Foils for CPS615 PDE Iterative Solution Discussion CPS615 Spring Semester 00 -- March 00. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 The Pipeline method has high communication costs (as will in fact use "block cyclic" to preserve locality) and is complex to implement well
2 Thus instead we note that we can get new versions of Gauss Seidel by reordering update order -- this could (in principle) make for a better or worse method (or more likely we won't know if better or worse!)
3 There is a natural reordering which is typically as good if not better for which parallelism is "trivial"
4 This ONLY works for nearest neighbor stencil but there are versions of red black for similar stencils
