We describe the basics for building and applying MLD2P4 one-level and multi-level
|
|
Schwarz preconditioners with the Krylov solvers included in PSBLAS [<A
|
|
HREF="node25.html#PSBLASGUIDE">15</A>].
|
|
The following steps are required:
|
|
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI><I>Declare the preconditioner data structure</I>. It is a derived data type,
|
|
<code>mld_</code><I>x</I><code>prec_</code> <code>type</code>, where <I>x</I> may be <code>s</code>, <code>d</code>, <code>c</code>
|
|
or <code>z</code>, according to the basic data type of the sparse matrix
|
|
(<code>s</code> = real single precision; <code>d</code> = real double precision;
|
|
<code>c</code> = complex single precision; <code>z</code> = complex double precision).
|
|
This data structure is accessed by the user only through the MLD2P4 routines,
|
|
following an object-oriented approach.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Allocate and initialize the preconditioner data structure, according to
|
|
a preconditioner type chosen by the user</I>. This is performed by the routine
|
|
<code>mld_precinit</code>, which also sets defaults for each preconditioner
|
|
type selected by the user. The defaults associated to each preconditioner
|
|
type are given in Table <A HREF="#tab:precinit">1</A>, where the strings used by
|
|
<code>mld_precinit</code> to identify the preconditioner types are also given.
|
|
Note that these strings are valid also if uppercase letters are substituted by
|
|
corresponding lowercase ones.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Modify the selected preconditioner type, by properly setting
|
|
preconditioner parameters.</I> This is performed by the routine <code>mld_precset</code>.
|
|
This routine must be called only if the user wants to modify the default values
|
|
of the parameters associated to the selected preconditioner type, to obtain a variant
|
|
of the preconditioner. Examples of use of <code>mld_precset</code> are given in
|
|
Section <A HREF="node15.html#sec:examples">5.1</A>; a complete list of all the
|
|
preconditioner parameters and their allowed and default values is provided in
|
|
Section <A HREF="node16.html#sec:userinterface">6</A>, Tables <A HREF="#tab:p_type">2</A>-<A HREF="#tab:p_coarse">5</A>.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Build the preconditioner for a given matrix.</I> This is performed by
|
|
the routine <code>mld_precbld</code>.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Apply the preconditioner at each iteration of a Krylov solver.</I>
|
|
This is performed by the routine <code>mld_precaply</code>. When using the PSBLAS Krylov solvers,
|
|
this step is completely transparent to the user, since <code>mld_precaply</code> is called
|
|
by the PSBLAS routine implementing the Krylov solver (<code>psb_krylov</code>).
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI><I>Free the preconditioner data structure</I>. This is performed by
|
|
the routine <code>mld_</code> <code>precfree</code>. This step is complementary to step 1 and should
|
|
be performed when the preconditioner is no more used.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
A detailed description of the above routines is given in Section <A HREF="node16.html#sec:userinterface">6</A>.
|
|
Examples showing the basic use of MLD2P4 are reported in Section <A HREF="node15.html#sec:examples">5.1</A>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that the Fortran 95 module <code>mld_prec_mod</code>, containing the definition of the
|
|
preconditioner data type and the interfaces to the routines of MLD2P4,
|
|
must be used in any program calling such routines.
|
|
The modules <code>psb_base_mod</code>, for the sparse matrix and communication descriptor
|
|
data types, and <code>psb_krylov_mod</code>, for interfacing with the
|
|
Krylov solvers, must be also used (see Section <A HREF="node15.html#sec:examples">5.1</A>).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<BR><B>Remark 1.</B> The coarsest-level solver used by the default two-level
|
|
preconditioner has been chosen by taking into account that, on parallel
|
|
machines, it often leads to the smallest execution time when applied to
|
|
linear systems coming from finite-difference discretizations of basic
|
|
elliptic PDE problems, considered as standard tests for multi-level Schwarz
|
|
preconditioners [<A
|
|
HREF="node25.html#aaecc_07">3</A>,<A
|
|
HREF="node25.html#apnum_07">4</A>]. However, this solver does
|
|
not necessarily correspond to the smallest number of iterations of the
|
|
preconditioned Krylov method, which is usually obtained by applying
|
|
a direct solver to the coarsest-level system, e.g. based on the LU
|
|
factorization (see Section <A HREF="node16.html#sec:userinterface">6</A>
|
|
for the coarsest-level solvers available in MLD2P4).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<BR><B>Remark 2.</B> The include path for MLD2P4 must override
|
|
those for PSBLAS, i.e. the former must come first in the sequence
|
|
passed to the compiler, as the MLD2P4 version of the Krylov solver
|
|
interfaces must override that of PSBLAS. This will change in the future
|
|
when the support for the <code>class</code> statement becomes widespread in Fortran
|
|
compilers.
