Summary: We show an analysis of different parallel numerical libraries for solving the linear systems associated to the electron continuity equation from the 3D simulation of the semiconductor devices. We use domain decomposition techniques, such as additive Schwarz, multicolor successive overrelaxation or Schur complement methods, in order to find the best method of resolution considering the minimization of the execution time. The results were obtained in a Beowulf system with Myrinet 2000 network with MPI standard for message-passing communication.
