In this work we propose a novel parallelization approach of two-level balancing domain decomposition by constraints preconditioning based on overlapping of fine-grid and coarse-grid duties in time. The global set of MPI tasks is split into those that have fine-grid duties and those that have coarse-grid duties, and the different computations and communications in the algorithm are then rescheduled and mapped in such a way that the maximum degree of overlapping is achieved while preserving data dependencies among them. In many ranges of interest, the extra cost associated to the coarse-grid problem can be fully masked by fine-grid related computations (which are embarrassingly parallel). Apart from discussing code implementation details, the paper also presents a comprehensive set of numerical experiments that includes weak scalability analyses with structured and unstructured meshes for the three-dimensional Poisson and linear elasticity problems on a pair of state-of-the-art multicore-based distributed-memory machines. This experimental study reveals remarkable weak scalability in the solution of problems with thousands of millions of unknowns on several tens of thousands of computational cores.
