Abstract	This paper presents the results of a scalability study for a three-dimensional semicoarsening multigrid solver on a distributed memory computer. In particular, we are interested in the scalability of the solver---how the solution time varies as both problem size and number of processors are increased. For an iterative linear solver, scalability involves both algorithmic issues and implementation issues. We examine the scalability of the solver theoretically by constructing a simple parallel model and experimentally by results obtained on an IBM SP. The results are compared with those obtained for other solvers on the same computer.
