The paper presents a combination of the time-parallel parallel full approximation scheme in space and time (PFASST) with a parallel multigrid method (PMG) in space, resulting in a mesh-based solver for the three-dimensional heat equation with a uniquely high degree of efficient concurrency. Parallel scaling tests are reported on the Cray XE6 machine Monte Rosa on up to 16,384 cores and on the IBM Blue Gene/Q system JUQUEEN on up to 65,536 cores. The efficacy of the combined spatial- and temporal parallelization is shown by demonstrating that using PFASST in addition to PMG significantly extends the strong-scaling limit. Implications of using spatial coarsening strategies in PFASSTs multi-level hierarchy in large-scale parallel simulations are discussed.

Matrix computations, especially iterative PDE solving (and the sparse matrix vector multiplication subproblem within) using conjugate gradient algorithm, and LU/Cholesky decomposition for solving system of linear equations, form the kernel of many ap plications, such as circuit simulators, computational fluid dynamics or structural analysis etc. The problem of designing approaches for parallelizing these computations, to get good speedups as much as possible as per Amdahls law, has been continuously researched upon. In this paper, we discuss approaches based on the use of finite projective geometry graphs for these two problems. For the problem of conjugate gradient algorithm, the approach looks at an alternative data distribution based on projective-geometry concepts. It is proved that this data distribution is an optimal data distribution for scheduling the main problem of dense matrix-vector multiplication. For the problem of parallel LU/Cholesky decomposition of general matrices, the approach is motivated by the recently published scheme for interconnects of distributed systems, perfect difference networks. We find that projective-geometry based graphs indeed offer an exciting way of parallelizing these computations, and in fact many others. Moreover, their applications ranges from architectural ones (interconnect choice) to algorithmic ones (data distributions).
We present a parallel algorithm for computing the approximate factorization of an $N$-by-$N$ kernel matrix. Once this factorization has been constructed (with $N log^2 N $ work), we can solve linear systems with this matrix with $N log N $ work. Kern el matrices represent pairwise interactions of points in metric spaces. They appear in machine learning, approximation theory, and computational physics. Kernel matrices are typically dense (matrix multiplication scales quadratically with $N$) and ill-conditioned (solves can require 100s of Krylov iterations). Thus, fast algorithms for matrix multiplication and factorization are critical for scalability. Recently we introduced ASKIT, a new method for approximating a kernel matrix that resembles N-body methods. Here we introduce INV-ASKIT, a factorization scheme based on ASKIT. We describe the new method, derive complexity estimates, and conduct an empirical study of its accuracy and scalability. We report results on real-world datasets including COVTYPE ($0.5$M points in 54 dimensions), SUSY ($4.5$M points in 8 dimensions) and MNIST (2M points in 784 dimensions) using shared and distributed memory parallelism. In our largest run we approximately factorize a dense matrix of size 32M $times$ 32M (generated from points in 64 dimensions) on 4,096 Sandy-Bridge cores. To our knowledge these results improve the state of the art by several orders of magnitude.
We introduce a time-implicit, finite-element based space-time discretization scheme for the backward stochastic heat equation, and for the forward-backward stochastic heat equation from stochastic optimal control, and prove strong rates of convergenc e. The fully discrete version of the forward-backward stochastic heat equation is then used within a gradient descent algorithm to approximately solve the linear-quadratic control problem for the stochastic heat equation driven by additive noise.
This paper introduces an ultra-weak space-time DPG method for the heat equation. We prove well-posedness of the variational formulation with broken test functions and verify quasi-optimality of a practical DPG scheme. Numerical experiments visualize beneficial properties of an adaptive and parabolically scaled mesh-refinement driven by the built-in error control of the DPG method.
As parallel computing trends towards the exascale, scientific data produced by high-fidelity simulations are growing increasingly massive. For instance, a simulation on a three-dimensional spatial grid with 512 points per dimension that tracks 64 var iables per grid point for 128 time steps yields 8~TB of data, assuming double precision. By viewing the data as a dense five-way tensor, we can compute a Tucker decomposition to find inherent low-dimensional multilinear structure, achieving compression ratios of up to 5000 on real-world data sets with negligible loss in accuracy. So that we can operate on such massive data, we present the first-ever distributed-memory parallel implementation for the Tucker decomposition, whose key computations correspond to parallel linear algebra operations, albeit with nonstandard data layouts. Our approach specifies a data distribution for tensors that avoids any tensor data redistribution, either locally or in parallel. We provide accompanying analysis of the computation and communication costs of the algorithms. To demonstrate the compression and accuracy of the method, we apply our approach to real-world data sets from combustion science simulations. We also provide detailed performance results, including parallel performance in both weak and strong scaling experiments.
