Preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG)

Properties

• symmetric matrices
• run-time selectable preconditioner
• good parallel scaling

Usage

solver          PCG;
preconditioner  <conditioner>;
relTol          <relative tolerance>;
tolerance       <tolerance>;

Computation cost

Start-up:

• 1 matrix-vector multiply
• 1 parallel reduction

Per iteration

• 1 matrix-vector multiply
• 3 parallel reductions
• and preconditioner - applied 1x
