The linear equations that arise in interior methods for constrained optimization are sparse symmetric indefinite and become extremely ill-conditioned as the interior method converges. These linear systems present a challenge for existing solver frameworks based on sparse LU or LDL^T decompositions. We benchmark five well known direct linear solver packages using matrices extracted from power grid optimization problems. The achieved solution accuracy varies greatly among the packages. None of the tested packages delivers significant GPU acceleration for our test cases.

Gauss-Seidel (GS) relaxation is often employed as a preconditioner for a Krylov solver or as a smoother for Algebraic Multigrid (AMG). However, the requisite sparse triangular solve is difficult to parallelize on many-core architectures such as graph
ics processing units (GPUs). In the present study, the performance of the traditional GS relaxation based on a triangular solve is compared with two-stage variants, replacing the direct triangular solve with a fixed number of inner Jacobi-Richardson (JR) iterations. When a small number of inner iterations is sufficient to maintain the Krylov convergence rate, the two-stage GS (GS2) often outperforms the traditional algorithm on many-core architectures. We also compare GS2 with JR. When they perform the same number of flops for SpMV (e.g. three JR sweeps compared to two GS sweeps with one inner JR sweep), the GS2 iterations, and the Krylov solver preconditioned with GS2, may converge faster than the JR iterations. Moreover, for some problems (e.g. elasticity), it was found that JR may diverge with a damping factor of one, whereas two-stage GS may improve the convergence with more inner iterations. Finally, to study the performance of the two-stage smoother and preconditioner for a practical problem, %(e.g. using tuned damping factors), these were applied to incompressible fluid flow simulations on GPUs.
Let $A$ be a real $ntimes n$ matrix and $z,bin mathbb R^n$. The piecewise linear equation system $z-Avert zvert = b$ is called an textit{absolute value equation}. We consider two solvers for this problem, one direct, one semi-iterative, and extend their previously known ranges of convergence.
Most efficient linear solvers use composable algorithmic components, with the most common model being the combination of a Krylov accelerator and one or more preconditioners. A similar set of concepts may be used for nonlinear algebraic systems, wher
e nonlinear composition of different nonlinear solvers may significantly improve the time to solution. We describe the basic concepts of nonlinear composition and preconditioning and present a number of solvers applicable to nonlinear partial differential equations. We have developed a software framework in order to easily explore the possible combinations of solvers. We show that the performance gains from using composed solvers can be substantial compared with gains from standard Newton-Krylov methods.
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN) are neural networks encoding the problem governing equations, such as Partial Differential Equations (PDE), as a part of the neural network. PINNs have emerged as a new essential tool to solve various challengi
ng problems, including computing linear systems arising from PDEs, a task for which several traditional methods exist. In this work, we focus first on evaluating the potential of PINNs as linear solvers in the case of the Poisson equation, an omnipresent equation in scientific computing. We characterize PINN linear solvers in terms of accuracy and performance under different network configurations (depth, activation functions, input data set distribution). We highlight the critical role of transfer learning. Our results show that low-frequency components of the solution converge quickly as an effect of the F-principle. In contrast, an accurate solution of the high frequencies requires an exceedingly long time. To address this limitation, we propose integrating PINNs into traditional linear solvers. We show that this integration leads to the development of new solvers whose performance is on par with other high-performance solvers, such as PETSc conjugate gradient linear solvers, in terms of performance and accuracy. Overall, while the accuracy and computational performance are still a limiting factor for the direct use of PINN linear solvers, hybrid strategies combining old traditional linear solver approaches with new emerging deep-learning techniques are among the most promising methods for developing a new class of linear solvers.
We present a parallel hierarchical solver for general sparse linear systems on distributed-memory machines. For large-scale problems, this fully algebraic algorithm is faster and more memory-efficient than sparse direct solvers because it exploits th
e low-rank structure of fill-in blocks. Depending on the accuracy of low-rank approximations, the hierarchical solver can be used either as a direct solver or as a preconditioner. The parallel algorithm is based on data decomposition and requires only local communication for updating boundary data on every processor. Moreover, the computation-to-communication ratio of the parallel algorithm is approximately the volume-to-surface-area ratio of the subdomain owned by every processor. We present various numerical results to demonstrate the versatility and scalability of the parallel algorithm.
