Empirical Results for Parallel Linear Solvers

Empirical results for the parallel block-diagonal-bordered direct and iterative methods are presented in this chapter along with comparisons of performance of direct versus iterative parallel linear solvers. We analyze the empirical performance of the parallel block-diagonal-bordered LU solvers in section 7.1, we analyze the empirical performance of the parallel block-diagonal-bordered iterative solver in section 7.2, and in section 7.3, we compare performance of the two algorithms.
