WHAT'S NEW
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 2.1
|
|
|
|
|
1. The multigrid preconditioner now include fully general V- and
|
|
|
|
|
W-cycles. We also support K-cycles, both for symmetric and
|
|
|
|
|
nonsymmetric matrices, intended to be used in conjunction
|
|
|
|
|
with Flexible CG or GCR available in PSBLAS 3.5.
|
|
|
|
|
2. The smoothers now include popular variants such as Jacobi,
|
|
|
|
|
forward and backward hybrid Gauss-Seidel (intra-process
|
|
|
|
|
Gauss-Seidel, inter-process block-Jacobi).
|
|
|
|
|
3. The PRE and POST specification for smoothers can now be
|
|
|
|
|
specified independently of each other: you can even specify
|
|
|
|
|
different smoothers for PRE and POST (e.g. forward Gauss-Seidel
|
|
|
|
|
PRE with backward Gauss-Seidel POST). The default is to
|
|
|
|
|
have the specs apply to both PRE and POST.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
Finally moved to F2003, with the support of PSBLAS3.
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few minor differences at user level:
|
|
|
|
|
1. In the configure step, you should specify the INSTALL directory
|
|
|
|
|
of PSBLAS version 3.4, not the source directory;
|
|
|
|
|
2. In the various makefiles, libmld_prec.a should now be used in
|
|
|
|
|
addition (and in front of) libpsb_prec.a, and no longer in
|
|
|
|
|
place of it.
|
|
|
|
|
3. As for the basic usage, this is practically identical to the
|
|
|
|
|
previous version(s).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should use the same MPI/serial compilers that were used for the
|
|
|
|
|
PSBLAS installation.
|
|
|
|
|
The Fortran 2003 support means that it is far easier to develop and
|
|
|
|
|
integrate new solvers and smoothers; you need to take one of the
|
|
|
|
|
existing solvers/smoothers as a model, develop your own by
|
|
|
|
|
changing/replacing the model contents, and then pass the new object
|
|
|
|
|
to the PREC%SET() method which will copy into the internals, as per
|
|
|
|
|
the PROTOTYPE design pattern. Take a look at the test/newslv
|
|
|
|
|
directory to see an example. It's easier done than said!

Versions of third party libraries known to work:
|
|
|
|
|
UMFPACK: 4.5.4 of SuiteSparse
|
|
|
|
|
MUMPS: 4.10.0 and 5.0.1
|
|
|
|
|
SuperLU: 4.3 and 5.0
|
|
|
|
|
SuperLU_Dist: 3.3 and 4.2
|
|
|
|
|
Note that with SuperLU_Dist you will probably need to add further
|
|
|
|
|
link options, e.g. the ParMetis library or the openmp runtime;
|
|
|
|
|
you can do this using the configure option --with-extra-libs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In version 1.1:
|
|
|
|
|
- The MLD_SIZEOF() function has been redefined to be INTEGER(8), so
|
|
|
|
|
as to be able to measure large data sets.
|
|
|
|
|
- The internals of the multilevel preconditioner have been repackaged
|
|
|
|
|
in a more structured fashion; no changes are needed in the user
|
|
|
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
|
- Note that we now need version 2.3.1 of PSBLAS.
