NUMERICAL ANALYSIS SEMINAR
- Thursday, November 6, 1986.
Dr. Peter Forsyth of Dynamic Reservoir Systems, Cal-
gary, Alberta will speak on ``Recent Developments in
Iterative Solution of Sparse Matrices''.
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: MC 6082
ABSTRACT
Preconditioned conjugate gradient methods have recently
become the preferred method for interative solution of
large sparse systems. This seminar will focus on
incomplete LU (ILU) preconditionings for sparse systems
with arbitrary connectivity, with application to the
non-symmetric, non-diagonally dominant matrices typical
of oil reservoir simulation. Some practical considera-
tions such as applications on supercomputers (including
some run times on the CRAY) will also be discussed.
