On Finding Supernodes for Sparse Matrix Computations
SIAM. J. Matrix Anal. & Appl. Volume 14, Issue 1, pp. 242-252 (January 1993)
Issue Date: January 1993
A simple characterization of fundamental supernodes is given in terms of the row subtrees of sparse Cholesky factors in the elimination tree. Using this characterization, an efficient algorithm is presented that determines the set of such supernodes in time proportional to the number of nonzeros and equations in the original matrix. Experimental results verify the practical efficiency of this algorithm.
