Sparse direct solvers play a vital role in large-scale high performance computing in science and engineering. Existing distributed sparse direct methods employ multifrontal/supernodal patterns to aggregate columns of nearly identical forms and to exploit dense basic linear algebra subprograms (BLAS) for computation. However, such a data layout may bring more unevenness when the structure of the input matrix is not ideal, and using dense BLAS may waste many floating-point operations on zero fill-ins.
