Thesis |
The reactivity computations are an essential component for the simulation of the core of a nuclear plant. These computations lead to generalized eigenvalue problems solved by the inverse power iteration algorithm. At each iteration, an algebraic linear system is solved through an inner/outer process. With the solver Cocagne developed at EDF, it is difficult to take into account very fine discretisation, due to the memory requirement and the computation time. In this thesis, a domain decomposition method based on the Schur dual technique is studied. Several placements in the inner/outer process are possible. Two of them are implemented and the results analyzed. The second one, which uses the specificities of the Raviart Thomas finite elements and of the alternating directions algorithm, leads to very promising results. From these results the industrialization of the method can be considered. |

{O}ver the past few years, parallel sparse direct solvers made significant progress and are now able to solve efficiently industrial three-dimensional problems with several millions of unknowns. {T}o solve efficiently these problems, {P}a{S}ti{X} and {WSMP} solvers for example, provide an hybrid {MPI}-thread implementation well suited for {SMP} nodes or multi-core architectures. {I}t enables to drastically reduce the memory overhead of the factorization and improve the scalability of the algorithms. {H}owever, today's modern architectures introduce new hierarchical memory accesses that are not handle in these solvers. {W}e present in this paper three improvements on {P}a{S}ti{X} solver to improve the performance on modern architectures : memory allocation, communication overlap and dynamic scheduling and some results on numerical test cases will be presented to prove the efficiency of the approach on {NUMA} architectures. |
