For example, when +the finite element method is used to solve practical problems in structural +engineering, each node typically has two to five degrees of freedom; +BlockSolve95 is designed to take advantage of problems with this type of local +structure. BlockSolve95 is also reasonably efficient for problems that have +only one degree of freedom associated with each node, such as the three- +dimensional Poisson problem. + +BlockSolve95 is general purpose; we do not require that the matrices have any +particular structure other than being sparse and being symmetric in structure +(but not necessarily in value). + +WWW: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/sumaa3d/BlockSolve/ |
