Abstract
The bottleneck of most data analyzing systems, signal processing systems, and intensive computing systems is matrix decomposition. The Cholesky factorization of a sparse matrix is an important operation in numerical algorithms field. This paper presents a Multi-phased Parallel Cholesky Factorization (MPCF) algorithm, and then gives the implementation on a multi-core machine. A performance result shows that the system can reach 85.7 Gflop/s on a single PowerXCell processor and bulk of computation can reach to 94% of peak performance.
