Adding new smoothers and solvers to MLD2P4
|
||||
Error Handling
|
||||
</H1>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Developers can add completely new smoother and/or solver classes
|
||||
derived from the base objects in the library may be used without
|
||||
recompiling the library itself.
|
||||
The error handling in MLD2P4 is based on the PSBLAS (version 2) error
|
||||
handling. Error conditions are signaled via an integer argument
|
||||
<code>info</code>; whenever an error condition is detected, an error trace
|
||||
stack is built by the library up to the top-level, user-callable
|
||||
routine. This routine will then decide, according to the user
|
||||
preferences, whether the error should be handled by terminating the
|
||||
program or by returning the error condition to the user code, which
|
||||
will then take action, and whether
|
||||
an error message should be printed. These options may be set by using
|
||||
the PSBLAS error handling routines; for further details see the PSBLAS
|
||||
User's Guide [<A
|
||||
HREF="node26.html#PSBLASGUIDE">13</A>].
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
To do so it is necessary first to select the base type to be extended;
|
||||
in our experience, it is quite likely that the new application needs
|
||||
only require the definition of a ``solver'' object, which is almost
|
||||
always acting only on the local part of the distributed matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The parallel actions required to connect the various solver objects
|
||||
are most often already provided by the Block Jacobi or the Additive
|
||||
Schwarz smoothers. To define a new solver, the developer will then
|
||||
have to define its components and methods, perhaps taking one of the
|
||||
predefined solvers as a starting point if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Once the new smoother/solver class has been developed, to use it in
|
||||
the context of the multilevel preconditioners it is necessary to:
|
||||
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI>Declare in the application program a variable of the new type;
|
||||
</LI>
|
||||
<LI>Pass that variable as the argument to the se routine as in the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER">
|
||||
<code>call p%set(smoother,info [,ilev, ilmax,pos])</code>
|
||||
<BR><code>call p%set(solver,info [,ilev, ilmax,pos])</code>
|
||||
|
||||
</DIV>
|
||||
</LI>
|
||||
<LI>Link into the application executable the code implementing the
|
||||
various methods.
|
||||
</LI>
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
The new solver object is then dynamically included in the
|
||||
preconditioner structure, and will act as a <I>mold</I> to which the
|
||||
preconditioner will conform, even though the MLD2P4 library has not
|
||||
been modified to account for this new development.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
It is possible to define new values for the keyword <code>WHAT</code> in the
|
||||
<code>set</code> routines; if the library code does not recognize a keyword,
|
||||
it passes it down the composition hierarchy (levels containing
|
||||
smoothers containing solvers), so that it can be eventually caught by
|
||||
the new solver.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
An example is contained in the source code distribution under the
|
||||
folder <code>tests/newslv</code>. This example solver is simply the ILU(0)
|
||||
solver under a new name, but it should give an idea of what needs to
|
||||
be done.
