Computational implementations for solving systems of linear equations often rely on a one-size-fits-all approach based on LU decomposition of dense matrices stored in column-major format. Such solvers are typically implemented with the aid of the xGESV set of functions available in the low-level LAPACK software, with the aim of reducing development time by taking advantage of well-tested routines. However, this straightforward approach does not take into account various matrix properties which can be exploited to reduce the computational effort and/or to increase numerical stability. Furthermore, direct use of LAPACK functions can be error-prone for non-expert users and results in source code that has little resemblance to originating mathematical expressions. We describe an adaptive solver that we have implemented inside rece

We propose an adaptive multigrid preconditioning technology for solving linear systems arising from Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) discretizations. Unlike standard multigrid techniques, this preconditioner involves only trace spaces defined on t he mesh skeleton, and it is suitable for adaptive hp-meshes. The key point of the construction is the integration of the iterative solver with a fully automatic and reliable mesh refinement process provided by the DPG technology. The efficacy of the solution technique is showcased with numerous examples of linear acoustics and electromagnetic simulations, including simulations in the high-frequency regime, problems which otherwise would be intractable. Finally, we analyze the one-level preconditioner (smoother) for uniform meshes and we demonstrate that theoretical estimates of the condition number of the preconditioned linear system can be derived based on well established theory for self-adjoint positive definite operators.
We present a sparse linear system solver that is based on a multifrontal variant of Gaussian elimination, and exploits low-rank approximation of the resulting dense frontal matrices. We use hierarchically semiseparable (HSS) matrices, which have low- rank off-diagonal blocks, to approximate the frontal matrices. For HSS matrix construction, a randomized sampling algorithm is used together with interpolative decompositions. The combination of the randomized compression with a fast ULV HSS factorization leads to a solver with lower computational complexity than the standard multifrontal method for many applications, resulting in speedups up to 7 fold for problems in our test suite. The implementation targets many-core systems by using task parallelism with dynamic runtime scheduling. Numerical experiments show performance improvements over state-of-the-art sparse direct solvers. The implementation achieves high performance and good scalability on a range of modern shared memory parallel systems, including the Intel Xeon Phi (MIC). The code is part of a software package called STRUMPACK -- STRUctured Matrices PACKage, which also has a distributed memory component for dense rank-structured matrices.

Updating a linear least squares solution can be critical for near real-time signalprocessing applications. The Greville algorithm proposes a simple formula for updating the pseudoinverse of a matrix A $in$ R nxm with rank r. In this paper, we explici tly derive a similar formula by maintaining a general rank factorization, which we call rank-Greville. Based on this formula, we implemented a recursive least squares algorithm exploiting the rank-deficiency of A, achieving the update of the minimum-norm least-squares solution in O(mr) operations and, therefore, solving the linear least-squares problem from scratch in O(nmr) operations. We empirically confirmed that this algorithm displays a better asymptotic time complexity than LAPACK solvers for rank-deficient matrices. The numerical stability of rank-Greville was found to be comparable to Cholesky-based solvers. Nonetheless, our implementation supports exact numerical representations of rationals, due to its remarkable algebraic simplicity.

Linear systems with large differences between coefficients (discontinuous coefficients) arise in many cases in which partial differential equations(PDEs) model physical phenomena involving heterogeneous media. The standard approach to solving such pr oblems is to use domain decomposition techniques, with domain boundaries conforming to the boundaries between the different media. This approach can be difficult to implement when the geometry of the domain boundaries is complicated or the grid is unstructured. This work examines the simple preconditioning technique of scaling the equations by dividing each equation by the Lp-norm of its coefficients. This preconditioning is called geometric scaling (GS). It has long been known that diagonal scaling can be useful in improving convergence, but there is no study on the general usefulness of this approach for discontinuous coefficients. GS was tested on several nonsymmetric linear systems with discontinuous coefficients derived from convection-diffusion elliptic PDEs with small to moderate convection terms. It is shown that GS improved the convergence properties of restarted GMRES and Bi-CGSTAB, with and without the ILUT preconditioner. GS was also shown to improve the distribution of the eigenvalues by reducing their concentration around the origin very significantly.
Applications that exploit the architectural details of high-performance computing (HPC) systems have become increasingly invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. The most important hardware development of the last decade in HPC has been the General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU), a class of massively parallel devices that now contributes the majority of computational power in the top 500 supercomputers. As these systems grow, small costs such as latency---due to the fixed cost of memory accesses and communication---accumulate in a large simulation and become a significant barrier to performance. The swept time-space decomposition rule is a communication-avoiding technique for time-stepping stencil update formulas that attempts to reduce latency costs. This work extends the swept rule by targeting heterogeneous, CPU/GPU architectures representing current and future HPC systems. We compare our approach to a naive decomposition scheme with two test equations using an MPI+CUDA pattern on 40 processes over two nodes containing one GPU. The swept rule produces a factor of 1.9 to 23 speedup for the heat equation and a factor of 1.1 to 2.0 speedup for the Euler equations, using the same processors and work distribution, and with the best possible configurations. These results show the potential effectiveness of the swept rule for different equations and numerical schemes on massively parallel computing systems that incur substantial latency costs.
