In this PhD thesis, we address three challenges faced by linear algebra solvers in the perspective of future exascale systems: accelerating convergence using innovative techniques at the algorithm level, taking advantage of GPU (Graphics Processing Units) accelerators to enhance the performance of computations on hybrid CPU/GPU systems, evaluating the impact of errors in the context of an increasing level of parallelism in supercomputers. We are interested in studying methods that enable us to accelerate convergence and execution time of iterative solvers for large sparse linear systems. The solver specifically considered in this work is the parallel Algebraic Recursive Multilevel Solver (pARMS), which is a distributed-memory parallel solve...
