Triangular Backsubstitution #6

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Is there an easy way to implement an efficient parallel sparse triangular
matrix backsubstitution step using cusp/thrust in the library? This would
enable the utilization of more elaborate preconditioners like SSOR or
custom incomplete Cholesky / LU to be easily integrated into the krylov pcg
solver.

Not to my knowledge.  In general, I don't know of any to implement 
backsubstitution
efficiently with 1000s of threads on a GPU.

However, if find any references that explain how it can be done, I'd be happy 
to look
at them.

The algorithm in Cusparse works reasonably well.

There is version of the triangular solve method by Li and Saad in one of the 
clones.  In my opinion it isn't very robust without additional functionality to 
perform reordering to reduce the number of sequential stages.
