The main underlying principle of the PSBLAS library is that the
|
|
|
|
|
library objects are created and exist with reference to a discretized
|
|
|
|
|
space to which there corresponds an index space and a matrix sparsity
|
|
|
|
|
pattern. As an example, consider a cell-centered finite-volume
|
|
|
|
|
discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations on a simulation domain;
|
|
|
|
|
the index space <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="46" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img15.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$1\dots n$"></SPAN> is isomorphic to the set of cell centers,
|
|
|
|
|
whereas the pattern of the associated linear system matrix is
|
|
|
|
|
isomorphic to the adjacency graph imposed on the discretization mesh
|
|
|
|
|
by the discretization stencil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Thus the first order of business is to establish an index space, and
|
|
|
|
|
this is done with a call to <code>psb_cdall</code> in which we specify the
|
|
|
|
|
size of the index space <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img16.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$n$"></SPAN> and the allocation of the elements of the
|
|
|
|
|
index space to the various processes making up the MPI (virtual)
|
|
|
|
|
parallel machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The index space is partitioned among processes, and this creates a
|
|
|
|
|
mapping from the “global” numbering <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="46" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"

|
|

ALT="$1\dots n$"></SPAN> to a numbering
|
|
|
|
|
“local” to each process; each process <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img4.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$i$"></SPAN> will own a certain subset
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- MATH
|
|
|

|
$1\dots n_{\hbox{row}_i}$
|
|
|
|
|
-->
|
|
|
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="77" HEIGHT="30" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img17.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$1\dots n_{\hbox{row}_i}$"></SPAN>, each element of which corresponds to a certain
|
|
|
|
|
element of <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img15.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$1\dots n$"></SPAN>. The user does not set explicitly this mapping;
|
|
|
|
|
when the application needs to indicate to which element of the index
|
|
|
|
|
space a certain item is related, such as the row and column index of a
|
|
|
|
|
matrix coefficient, it does so in the “global” numbering, and the
|
|
|
|
|
library will translate into the appropriate “local” numbering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
For a given index space <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG
|
|
|
|
|
WIDTH="46" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
|
|
|
|
|
SRC="img15.png"
|
|
|
|
|
ALT="$1\dots n$"></SPAN> there are many possible associated
|
|
|
|
|
topologies, i.e. many different discretization stencils; thus the
|
|
|
|
|
description of the index space is not completed until the user has
|
|
|
|
|
defined a sparsity pattern, either explicitly through <code>psb_cdins</code>
|
|
|
|
|
or implicitly through <code>psb_spins</code>. The descriptor is finalized
|
|
|
|
|
with a call to <code>psb_cdasb</code> and a sparse matrix with a call to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>psb_spasb</code>. After <code>psb_cdasb</code> each process <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG

|
|
|
|
|
defined a set of “halo” (or “ghost”) indices
|
|
|
|
|

$n_{\hbox{row}_i}+1\dots n_{\hbox{col}_i}$

|

associated with the sparse matrix <SPAN CLASS="MATH"><IMG

|
|
|
|
|
fetched from (neighbouring) processes. The descriptor of the index
|
|
|
|
|
space is built exactly for the purpose of properly sequencing the
|
|
|
|
|
communication steps required to achieve this objective.

The insertion routines will be called as many times as needed;
|
|
|
|
|
they only need to be called on the data that is actually
|
|
|
|
|
allocated to the current process, i.e. each process generates its own
|
|
|
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
In principle there is no specific order in the calls to
|
|
|
|
|
<code>psb_spins</code>, nor is there a requirement to build a matrix row in
|
|
|
|
|
its entirety before calling the routine; this allows the application
|
|
|
|
|
programmer to walk through the discretization mesh element by element,
|
|
|
|
|
generating the main part of a given matrix row but also contributions
|
|
|
|
|
to the rows corresponding to neighbouring elements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
From a functional point of view it is even possible to execute one
|
|
|
|
|
call for each nonzero coefficient; however this would have a
|
|
|
|
|
substantial computational overhead. It is therefore advisable to pack
|
|
|
|
|
a certain amount of data into each call to the insertion routine, say
|
|
|
|
|
touching on a few tens of rows; the best performng value would depend
|
|
|
|
|
on both the architecture of the computer being used and on the problem
|
|
|
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
|
At the opposite extreme, it would be possible to generate the entire
|
|
|
|
|
part of a coefficient matrix residing on a process and pass it in a
|
|
|
|
|
single call to <code>psb_spins</code>; this, however, would entail a
|
|
|
|
|
doubling of memory occupation, and thus would be almost always far
|
|
|
|
|
from optimal.
