Abstract

We present a hybrid sequential/parallel symbolic Cholesky factorization algorithm that computes the sparsity pattern of the symbolic factors in parallel. We evaluate the performance on a large subset of the SuiteSparse matrix collection and multicore CPUs as well as flagship GPUs by AMD and NVIDIA, achieving speedups of an order of magnitude compared to a state-of-the-art sequential symbolic Cholesky factorization.
