Title: Flexible, Parallel, Adaptive Geometric Multigrid for FEM
Abstract:
We present data structures and implementation details of a geometric multigrid
method on adaptively refined meshes for massively parallel finite element
computations. The method uses local smoothing on the refined part of the
mesh. Partitioning is achieved by using a space filling curve for the leaf
mesh and distributing ancestors in the hierarchy based on the leaves. The
method is flexible and shown to work with continuous, DG, and mixed elements
of arbitrary order and is scaling to 10,000 cores and more than one billion
DoFs. The algorithm is implemented as part of the deal.II finite element
library and as such available to the public.
