Abstract

We aim to accelerate the linear equation solver for crack growth simulation based on the phase field model. As a first step, we analyze the properties of the coefficient matrices and prove that they are symmetric positive definite. This justifies the use of the conjugate gradient method with the efficient incomplete Cholesky preconditioner. We then parallelize this preconditioner using so-called block multi-color ordering and evaluate its performance on multicore processors. The experimental results show that our solver scales well and achieves an acceleration of several times over the original solver based on the diagonally scaled CG method.
