Abstract

Multilevel extensions of overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioners of Generalized Dryja-Smith-Widlund (GDSW) type are considered in this paper. The original GDSW preconditioner is a two-level overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioner, which can be constructed algebraically from the fully assembled stiffness matrix. The FROSch software, which belongs to the ShyLU package of the Trilinos software library, provides parallel implementations of different variants of GDSW preconditioners. The coarse problem can limit the parallel scalability of two-level GDSW preconditioners. As a remedy, in the past, three-level GDSW approaches have been proposed, which can significantly extend the range of scalability. Here, a multilevel extension of the GDSW preconditioner is introduced and analyzed. Finally, parallel results for the implementation in FROSch for up to 40 000 cores of the SuperMUC-NG supercomputer at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and to 48 000 cores of the JUWELS supercomputer at Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) are presented.
