Title A DAG-based parallel Cholesky factorization for multicore systems
Contributors
Abstract Modern processors have multiple cores, making multiprocessing essential for competitive desktop linear algebra. Asynchronous processing with much inherent parallelism can be derived by using a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to represent the data dependencies between tasks. In this paper, we present our implementation of a DAG-based Cholesky factorization, using a last minute scheduling approach to prioritise tasks. Our factorization is implemented in Fortran 95 using OpenMP.
