GeoPC - Infrastructure development for hybrid parallel smoothers for multigrid preconditioners

The goal of this project is to develop a computational infrastructure to enable massively parallel, scalable smoothers and coarse grid solvers to be used within multigrid preconditioners. This is intended to (i) facilitate the execution of high resolution, 3D geodynamic models of the planetary evolution; (ii) provide the Earth science community (and others) with a suite of continually maintained and re-usable HPC components to build robust multi-level preconditioners (iii) position Swiss computational geosciences in the emerging large-scale computing era.

This project is supported by the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC).
