Factorizing a sparse matrix is a robust way to solve large sparse systems of linear equations. However such an approach is known to be costly both in terms of computation and storage. When the storage required to process a matrix is greater than the amount of memory available on the platform, so-called out-of-core approaches have to be employed: disks extend the main memory to provide enough storage capacity. In this thesis, we investigate both theoretical and practical aspects of such out-of-core factorizations. The MUMPS and SuperLU software packages are used to illustrate our discussions on real-life matrices. First, we propose and study various out-of-core models that aim at limiting the overhead due to data transfers between memory and...
