text: "We present the submatrix method, a highly parallelizable method for the approximate
calculation of inverse p-th roots of large sparse symmetric matrices which are
required in different scientific applications. Following the idea of Approximate
Computing, we allow imprecision in the final result in order to utilize the sparsity
of the input matrix and to allow massively parallel execution. For an n x n matrix,
the proposed algorithm allows to distribute the calculations over n nodes with
only little communication overhead. The result matrix exhibits the same sparsity
pattern as the input matrix, allowing for efficient reuse of allocated data structures.\r\n\r\nWe
evaluate the algorithm with respect to the error that it introduces into calculated
results, as well as its performance and scalability. We demonstrate that the error
is relatively limited for well-conditioned matrices and that results are still
valuable for error-resilient applications like preconditioning even for ill-conditioned
matrices. We discuss the execution time and scaling of the algorithm on a theoretical
level and present a distributed implementation of the algorithm using MPI and
OpenMP. We demonstrate the scalability of this implementation by running it on
a high-performance compute cluster comprised of 1024 CPU cores, showing a speedup
of 665x compared to single-threaded execution."
