pARMS: parallel Algebraic Recursive Multilevel Solvers

* Welcome to parallel ARMS (pARMS) *

pARMS is a library of parallel solvers for distributed sparse linear systems of equations. It is based on a preconditioned Krylov subspace approach, using a domain decomposition viewpoint. It offers a large selection of preconditioners for distributed sparse linear systems and a few of the best known accelerators.

The basic methodology used relies on a Recursive Multi-level ILU factorization wich allows to develop many of the standard domain-decomposition type iterative solvers in a single framework. For example, the standard Schwarz procedures are included as are a number of Schur complement techniques.
