Abstract

In this paper we present the analysis of parallelization properties of several typical preconditioners for the Conjugate Gradient methods. For implicit preconditioners, geometric and algebraic parallelization approaches are discussed. Additionally, different optimization techniques are suggested. Some implementation details are given for each method. Finally, parallel performance results are presented and discussed.
