Abstract

Parallelizable numerical methods for solving large scale DAE systems are developed at the level of differential, nonlinear and linear equations. For this the subsystem-wise structure of the DAE systems based on unit-oriented modelling is explored. Partitionings are used to parallelize waveform relaxation and structured Newton methods. Initial values are computed with a modified Newton method. To solve large sparse systems of linear equations a special Gaussian elimination method is used. The algorithms were implemented on a CRAY C90 vector computer, as well as on both, moderately parallel CRAY J90 vector computers and massively parallel CRAY T3D machines. The methods were tested using several real life examples.
