Abstract
Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) is a widely used numerical technique for solving large-scale linear systems in various fields of computer science, such as computer graphics, computational fluid dynamics, and scientific computing. However, the performance and scalability of AMG-based solvers can be sensitive to various factors, such as the size and complexity of the system, the selection of AMG parameters, and the application of parallel computing techniques. In this article, we review the literature on the scalability of AMG in computer science, discuss the challenges and limitations of AMG-based solvers, and propose possible research directions for improving the scalability and efficiency of AMG. Algebraic multigrid (AMG) is a numerical method that has gained attention in recent years due to its scalability and effectiveness in solving large linear systems. The method has been applied in various fields, including computer science, where the need for scalable numerical methods is crucial due to the increasing demand for computing power. In this article, we investigate the scalability of algebraic multigrid in computer science, focusing on its applications in solving large-scale linear systems in various computational domains. We present a comprehensive review of the literature on the subject, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that arise when using AMG in computer science. We then describe the research methodology employed in our investigation, which includes numerical experiments to evaluate the performance of AMG on a range of problem sizes and configurations. Finally, we discuss the results of our experiments, which demonstrate the scalability and effectiveness of AMG in computer science, as well as its potential for future research.
