Abstract: We analyze scalability of parallel algebraic multigrid algorithms for large sparse linear systems.To analyze performance of the parallel iterative algorithm and its implementation,a method for analyzing scalability of parallel computing is presented. Numerical results show that the average stencil size of the grid operator and the convergence efficiency are keys in the parallel algebraic multigrid method.
