rslab (Python bindings)

NumPy/SciPy bindings for RSLAB, a pure-Rust sparse direct solver: symmetric and complex-symmetric LDL^T (Bunch-Kaufman), unsymmetric LU, and a KLU path for circuit-shaped matrices. All numeric work happens in Rust. Supported dtypes: float64, float32, complex128, complex64.

pip install rslab

Usage

import numpy as np
import scipy.sparse as sp
import rslab

x = rslab.spsolve(A, b)              # one-shot, on the automatic path

f = rslab.ldlt(A)                    # symmetric or complex-symmetric
x = f.solve(b)
X = f.solve_many(B)                  # n x nrhs
print(f.factor_nnz, f.inertia, f.diagnostics()["summary"])

f = rslab.lu(A_general)              # unsymmetric
y = f.solve_transpose(b)             # A.T @ y = b, on every handle

Circuit-shaped matrices (MNA / SPICE class) take the KLU path, with a numeric-only refactor for fixed-pattern sweeps and its factors exported:

f = rslab.klu(A)
x = f.solve(b)
f.refactor(A_next.data)              # same pattern, new values, no pivot search
y = f.solve_transpose(b)             # A.T @ y = b (conjugate b and y for A^H)
L, U, F = f.L, f.U, f.F              # (R A)[perm_r][:, perm_c] = L @ U + F

The automatic path picks among the three by the work the analysis predicts: KLU for sparse work, LDL^T for symmetric values or LU for dense work.

f = rslab.auto(A)
print(f.backend)                     # 'klu', 'ldlt' or 'lu'
f.refactor(A_next.data)              # in place, on the path the values take

Symbolic reuse

The analysis depends on the pattern only; pay it once per sweep:

sym = rslab.analyze(A)               # AutoSymbolic; path='ldlt', 'lu' or 'klu' for one path
plan = sym.memory_plan(A.dtype.name, threads=8)  # heap before any numeric work
assert plan["peak_bytes"] < available_bytes
for omega in frequencies:
    f = sym.factor(K + 1j * omega * C)   # the matrix or its data array
    x = f.solve(b)

Preconditioners and Krylov solvers

Static pivoting never fails; refinement or a Krylov method recovers the accuracy. gmres, gmres_block, cocg and cocr take any factor handle as preconditioner:

f = rslab.ldlt(A, preconditioner=1e-4)
x = f.solve(b, refine=20)

M = rslab.lu(A, factor_dtype="complex64")  # complex128 A, half the factor memory
x, converged, iters, res, stop = rslab.gmres(A, b, M, tol=1e-10)
x = M.solve(b, refine=5)             # mixed-precision refinement, full accuracy

Settings

Factor knobs are keyword arguments of auto, ldlt, lu, spsolve and analyze, or a rslab.Settings object (rslab.KluSettings for klu). Every tuning constant of the solver is one (nd_fm_passes, race_candidates, solve_block, ...), with the tuned value as default; rslab.Settings().to_dict() lists them all. Common overrides:

f = rslab.lu(A, ordering="metis", threads=8, pivot_threshold=0.5)
s = rslab.Settings(preconditioner=1e-6, drop_tol=1e-3)

Settings a path does not read are listed under diagnostics()["warnings"]. Every keyword, handle and method is documented in the generated reference docs/api.md (help(rslab.lu) shows the same text).

Logging

rslab.set_log_level("info")          # or the RLA_LOG environment variable
log = logging.getLogger("rslab")
rslab.set_log_sink(lambda level, msg: log.log(logging.getLevelName(level.upper()), msg))
