Abstract

In this paper we present two parallel routines for the LU factorization of band matrices arising in model reduction problems that target SMP architectures. The special properties of these problems often allows the elimination of pivoting during the factorization, and results in a higher efficiency of the parallel routines. Also, the routines aggregate operations during the iteration, exposing a coarser-grain parallelism than their LAPACK counterpart. Experimental results on two different parallel platforms show the benefits of the new approach.
