| Abstract: | Spectral element method is well known as high-order method, and has potential better parallel feature as compared with low order methods. In this paper, a parallel preconditioned conjugate gradient iterative method is proposed to solving the spectral element approximation of the Helmholtz equation. The parallel algorithm is shown to have good performance as compared to non parallel cases, especially when the stiffness matrix is not memorized. A series of numerical experiments in one dimensional case is carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. |
