Abstract

In this paper, we describe a modified CGLS method (MCGLS) that improves parallel performance by assembling the results of a number of inner products and by overlapping communication with computation. We also propose an improved CGLS method (ICGLS) that halves the number of global synchronization points required for inner products.
