<B>HPL_pdpanrlT</B> |
| 30 |
factorizes a panel of columns that is a sub-array of a |
| 31 |
larger one-dimensional panel A using the Right-looking variant of the |
| 32 |
usual one-dimensional algorithm. The lower triangular N0-by-N0 upper |
| 33 |
block of the panel is stored in transpose form. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Bi-directional exchange is used to perform the swap::broadcast |
| 36 |
operations at once for one column in the panel. This results in a |
| 37 |
lower number of slightly larger messages than usual. On P processes |
| 38 |
and assuming bi-directional links, the running time of this function |
| 39 |
can be approximated by (when N is equal to N0): |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
N0 * log_2( P ) * ( lat + ( 2*N0 + 4 ) / bdwth ) + |
| 42 |
N0^2 * ( M - N0/3 ) * gam2-3 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
where M is the local number of rows of the panel, lat and bdwth are |
| 45 |
the latency and bandwidth of the network for double precision real |
| 46 |
words, and gam2-3 is an estimate of the Level 2 and Level 3 BLAS |
| 47 |
rate of execution. The recursive algorithm allows indeed to almost |
| 48 |
achieve Level 3 BLAS performance in the panel factorization. On a |
| 49 |
large number of modern machines, this operation is however latency |
| 50 |
bound, meaning that its cost can be estimated by only the latency |
| 51 |
portion N0 * log_2(P) * lat. Mono-directional links will double this |
| 52 |
communication cost. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Note that one iteration of the the main loop is unrolled. The local |
| 55 |
computation of the absolute value max of the next column is performed |
| 56 |
just after its update by the current column. This allows to bring the |
| 57 |
current column only once through cache at each step. The current |
| 58 |
implementation does not perform any blocking for this sequence of |
| 59 |
BLAS operations, however the design allows for plugging in an optimal |
| 60 |
(machine-specific) specialized BLAS-like kernel. This idea has been |
| 61 |
suggested to us by Fred Gustavson, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. |
