SuperLU System

The SuperLU system solver is a high-performance sparse direct solver that uses the SuperLU library. It is designed for large sparse matrices and can handle both symmetric and non-symmetric systems efficiently.

Description

The SuperLU system: - Uses sparse matrix storage - Implements supernodal LU factorization - Optimized for large sparse matrices - Handles both symmetric and non-symmetric systems - Automatically detects and exploits matrix structure

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
None		This system solver doesn’t take any parameters

Usage Example

# Create a Femora instance


# Create a SuperLU system solver
fm.analysis.system.create_system("SuperLU")

Notes

• High-performance sparse direct solver

• Memory usage scales with matrix sparsity

• Very efficient for large sparse problems

• Can handle non-symmetric matrices

• Good choice for general-purpose sparse solving

• Particularly effective with AMD numbering scheme

• May require more memory than iterative solvers
