Physics Informed Preconditioners and Solvers

Physics Informed Preconditioners

Introduction

HIPO, short for High Performance Precondition Operators, is a large-scale linear equation solver package. It supports distributed heterogeneous parallel computing (MPI+CPU/GPU/DCU/...) and provides physics-informed preconditioners for solvers, especially physics-informed AMG preconditioners. It is dedicated to stably and efficiently solving large-scale linear algebraic equations derived from the discretization of mathematical and physical models.

Install

$ pip install hipo

Usage

use the following command to get the help message:

$ python -m hipo help

copy the example out

$ cp -r path_to_hipo/examples .

then run the example:

$ python solver.py thermal1.mtx thermal1_b.mtx solver.json

The following python script shows the above solver.py. read matrix A and vector b from MatrixMarket files, using CUDA to solve Ax=b.

# solver.py
import hipo
import sys, re, os
#import json
import commentjson as json

fnA = sys.argv[1]
fnb = sys.argv[2]
config = sys.argv[3]

params = json.load(open(config))

A = hipo.ParCSRMatrix()
A.loadFromFile(fnA)
b = hipo.ParMatrix()
b.loadFromFile(fnb)
if b.getSize() == 0:
    b.resize(A.getRows(), 1)
    b.fill(1)

# transfer the matrix and vector to gpu 0.
dev = hipo.Device("cuda:0")
A = A.toDevice(dev)
b = b.toDevice(dev)

# use gpu 0 to finish the computation.
precond = hipo.createPrecond(params["preconditioner"])
precond.setup(A)
solver = hipo.createSolver(params["solver"])
solver.setup(A)

out = solver.solve(precond, A, b)

Solvers and Preconditioners

use

$ python -m hipo info

to show the builtin solvers, preconditioners, smoothers, level_transfers.
