Abstract
In this study, we present an efficient parallel sparse approximate inverse (SPAI) preconditioning algorithm based on MPI and CUDA, called HybridSPAI. For HybridSPAI, it optimizes a latest static SPAI preconditioning algorithm, and is extended from one GPU to multiple GPUs in order to process large-scale matrices. We make the following significant contributions: (1) a general parallel framework for optimizing the static SPAI preconditioner based on MPI and CUDA is presented, and (2) for each component of the preconditioner, a decision tree is established to choose the optimal kernel of computing it. Experimental results show that HybridSPAI is effective, and outperforms the popular preconditioning algorithms in two public libraries, and a latest parallel SPAI preconditioning algorithm.
