% *** Authors should verify (and, if needed, correct) their LaTeX system  ***
% *** with the testflow diagnostic prior to trusting their LaTeX platform ***
% *** with production work. IEEE's font choices can trigger bugs that do  ***
% *** not appear when using other class files.                            ***
% The testflow support page is at:
% http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/testflow/



% Note that the a4paper option is mainly intended so that authors in
% countries using A4 can easily print to A4 and see how their papers will
% look in print - the typesetting of the document will not typically be
% affected with changes in paper size (but the bottom and side margins will).
% Use the testflow package mentioned above to verify correct handling of
% both paper sizes by the user's LaTeX system.
%
% Also note that the "draftcls" or "draftclsnofoot", not "draft", option
% should be used if it is desired that the figures are to be displayed in
% draft mode.
%
\documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}
% Add the compsocconf option for Computer Society conferences.
%
% If IEEEtran.cls has not been installed into the LaTeX system files,
% manually specify the path to it like:
% \documentclass[conference]{../sty/IEEEtran}





% Some very useful LaTeX packages include:
% (uncomment the ones you want to load)


% *** MISC UTILITY PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{ifpdf}
% Heiko Oberdiek's ifpdf.sty is very useful if you need conditional
% compilation based on whether the output is pdf or dvi.
% usage:
% \ifpdf
%   % pdf code
% \else
%   % dvi code
% \fi
% The latest version of ifpdf.sty can be obtained from:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
% Also, note that IEEEtran.cls V1.7 and later provides a builtin
% \ifCLASSINFOpdf conditional that works the same way.
% When switching from latex to pdflatex and vice-versa, the compiler may
% have to be run twice to clear warning/error messages.






% *** CITATION PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{cite}
% cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
% V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
% \cite{} output to follow that of IEEE. Loading the cite package will
% result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
% "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
% cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
% \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
% noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off.
% cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
% version 4.0 (2003-05-27) and later if using hyperref.sty. cite.sty does
% not currently provide for hyperlinked citations.
% The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cite/
% The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.






% *** GRAPHICS RELATED PACKAGES ***
%
\ifCLASSINFOpdf
  % \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
  % every instance of \includegraphics
  % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
\else
  % or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx
  % will default to the driver specified in the system graphics.cfg if no
  % driver is specified.
  % \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
  % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
  % \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
  % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
  % every instance of \includegraphics
  % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
\fi
% graphicx was written by David Carlisle and Sebastian Rahtz. It is
% required if you want graphics, photos, etc. graphicx.sty is already
% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
% be obtained at: 
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/graphics/
% Another good source of documentation is "Using Imported Graphics in
% LaTeX2e" by Keith Reckdahl which can be found as epslatex.ps or
% epslatex.pdf at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/
%
% latex, and pdflatex in dvi mode, support graphics in encapsulated
% postscript (.eps) format. pdflatex in pdf mode supports graphics
% in .pdf, .jpeg, .png and .mps (metapost) formats. Users should ensure
% that all non-photo figures use a vector format (.eps, .pdf, .mps) and
% not a bitmapped formats (.jpeg, .png). IEEE frowns on bitmapped formats
% which can result in "jaggedy"/blurry rendering of lines and letters as
% well as large increases in file sizes.
%
% You can find documentation about the pdfTeX application at:
% http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex





% *** MATH PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage[cmex10]{amsmath}
% A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
% many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics. If using
% it, be sure to load this package with the cmex10 option to ensure that
% only type 1 fonts will utilized at all point sizes. Without this option,
% it is possible that some math symbols, particularly those within
% footnotes, will be rendered in bitmap form which will result in a
% document that can not be IEEE Xplore compliant!
%
% Also, note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
% thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
%\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
% after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
% does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
% version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/





% *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{algorithmic}
% algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
% This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
% You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
% environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
% floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
% algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as IEEE does not use dedicated
% algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
% correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of
% algorithmic.sty can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithms/
% There is also a support site at:
% http://algorithms.berlios.de/index.html
% Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
% algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithmicx/




% *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{array}
% Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
% the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
% appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
% generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
% respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
% advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
% set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
% latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/


%\usepackage{mdwmath}
%\usepackage{mdwtab}
% Also highly recommended is Mark Wooding's extremely powerful MDW tools,
% especially mdwmath.sty and mdwtab.sty which are used to format equations
% and tables, respectively. The MDWtools set is already installed on most
% LaTeX systems. The lastest version and documentation is available at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/


% IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to
% generate multiline equations as well as matrices, tables, etc., of high
% quality.


%\usepackage{eqparbox}
% Also of notable interest is Scott Pakin's eqparbox package for creating
% (automatically sized) equal width boxes - aka "natural width parboxes".
% Available at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox/





% *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
%\usepackage[tight,footnotesize]{subfigure}
% subfigure.sty was written by Steven Douglas Cochran. This package makes it
% easy to put subfigures in your figures. e.g., "Figure 1a and 1b". For IEEE
% work, it is a good idea to load it with the tight package option to reduce
% the amount of white space around the subfigures. subfigure.sty is already
% installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
% be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/subfigure/
% subfigure.sty has been superceeded by subfig.sty.



%\usepackage[caption=false]{caption}
%\usepackage[font=footnotesize]{subfig}
% subfig.sty, also written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern
% replacement for subfigure.sty. However, subfig.sty requires and
% automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty which will override
% IEEEtran.cls handling of captions and this will result in nonIEEE style
% figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure and preload
% caption.sty with its "caption=false" package option. This is will preserve
% IEEEtran.cls handing of captions. Version 1.3 (2005/06/28) and later 
% (recommended due to many improvements over 1.2) of subfig.sty supports
% the caption=false option directly:
%\usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
%
% The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/
% The latest version and documentation of caption.sty can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/




% *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{fixltx2e}
% fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
% Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
% in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
% LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
% guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
% single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
% figure. The latest version and documentation can be found at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/base/



%\usepackage{stfloats}
% stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
% the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
% as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
% LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
%\fnbelowfloat
% to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
% LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
% which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
% with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
% version and documentation can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools/
% Documentation is contained in the stfloats.sty comments as well as in the
% presfull.pdf file. Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as IEEE
% does not allow \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the
% IEEE should note that IEEE rarely uses double column equations and
% that authors should try to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the
% cuted.sty or midfloat.sty packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as IEEE does
% not format its papers in such ways.





% *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
%
%\usepackage{url}
% url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
% handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
% systems. The latest version can be obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
% Read the url.sty source comments for usage information. Basically,
% \url{my_url_here}.





% *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
% *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex).         ***
% There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.
% (Unless specifically asked to do so by the journal or conference you plan
% to submit to, of course. )

\section{Introduction}

Iterative  methods are become  more attractive  than direct  ones to  solve very
large sparse linear  systems. They are more effective in  a parallel context and
require less memory  and arithmetic operations than direct  methods. A number of
iterative methods are proposed and adapted by many researchers and the increased
need for solving  very large sparse linear systems  triggered the development of
efficient iterative techniques suitable for the parallel processing.

Most of the successful iterative methods currently available are based on Krylov
subspaces which  consist in forming a  basis of a sequence  of successive matrix
powers times an initial vector for example the residual. These methods are based
on  orthogonality  of vectors  of  the Krylov  subspace  basis  to solve  linear
systems.  The  most well-known iterative  Krylov subspace methods  are Conjugate
Gradient method and GMRES method (generalized minimal residual).

However,  iterative  methods suffer  from scalability  problems  on parallel
computing  platforms  with many  processors  due  to  their need  for  reduction
operations    and   collective    communications   to    perform   matrix-vector
multiplications. The  communications on large  clusters with thousands  of cores
and  large  sizes of  messages  can  significantly  affect the  performances  of
iterative methods. In practice, Krylov subspace iteration methods are often used
with preconditioners in order to increase their convergence and accelerate their
performances.  However, most  of the  good preconditioners  are not  scalable on
large clusters.

In this  paper we propose a  two-stage algorithm based on  two nested iterations
called inner-outer  iterations.  This algorithm  consists in solving  the sparse
linear system iteratively  with a small number of  inner iterations and restarts
the outer step with a new solution minimizing some error functions over a Krylov
subspace. This algorithm is iterative  and easy to parallelize on large clusters
and the minimization technique improves its convergence and performances.

The present paper is organized  as follows. In Section~\ref{sec:02} some related
works are presented. Section~\ref{sec:03} presents our two-stage algorithm based
on   Krylov  subspace   iteration  methods.   Section~\ref{sec:04}   shows  some
experimental results obtained on large  clusters of our algorithm using routines
of PETSc toolkit.

\section{A Krylov two-stage algorithm}
\label{sec:03}
A two-stage algorithm is proposed  to solve large  sparse linear systems  of the
form  $Ax=b$,  where  $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times   n}$  is  a  sparse  and  square
nonsingular   matrix,   $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$    is   the   solution   vector   and
$b\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is  the right-hand side.  The algorithm is implemented  as an
inner-outer iteration  solver based  on iterative Krylov  methods. The  main key
points of our solver are given in Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}.

In order to accelerate the convergence, the outer iteration is implemented as an
iterative  Krylov method  which minimizes  some  error functions  over a  Krylov
subspace~\cite{saad96}. At  each iteration, the  sparse linear system  $Ax=b$ is
solved   iteratively    with   an   iterative   method,    for   example   GMRES
method~\cite{saad86} or  some of its variants,  and the Krylov  subspace that we
used is spanned by a basis  $S$ composed of successive solutions issued from the
inner iteration
\begin{equation}
  S = \{x^1, x^2, \ldots, x^s\} \text{,~} s\leq n.
\end{equation} 
The advantage  of such a Krylov subspace  is that we neither  need an orthogonal
basis nor  any synchronization  between processors to  generate this  basis. The
algorithm  is periodically  restarted every  $s$ iterations  with a  new initial
guess $x=S\alpha$ which minimizes the residual norm $\|b-Ax\|_2$ over the Krylov
subspace spanned by  vectors of $S$, where $\alpha$ is a  solution of the normal
equations
\begin{equation}
  R^TR\alpha = R^Tb,
\end{equation}
which is associated with the least-squares problem
\begin{equation}
   \underset{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^{s}}{min}\|b-R\alpha\|_2
\label{eq:01}
\end{equation}
such  that $R=AS$  is a  dense rectangular  matrix in  $\mathbb{R}^{n\times s}$,
$s\ll n$,  and $R^T$ denotes  the transpose of  matrix $R$. We use  an iterative
method   to  solve   the  least-squares   problem~(\ref{eq:01})  such   as  CGLS
~\cite{hestenes52}  or LSQR~\cite{paige82}  which  are more  appropriate than  a
direct method in the parallel context.

\begin{algorithm}[t]
\caption{A Krylov two-stage algorithm}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
  \Input $A$ (sparse matrix), $b$ (right-hand side)
  \Output $x$ (solution vector)\vspace{0.2cm}
  \State Set the initial guess $x^0$
  \For {$k=1,2,3,\ldots$ until convergence} \label{algo:conv}
    \State Solve iteratively $Ax^k=b$  \label{algo:solve}
    \State $S_{k~mod~s}=x^k$ 
    \If {$k$ mod $s=0$ {\bf and} not convergence}
      \State Compute dense matrix $R=AS$
      \State Solve least-squares problem $\underset{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^{s}}{min}\|b-R\alpha\|_2$
      \State Compute minimizer $x^k=S\alpha$
    \EndIf
  \EndFor
\end{algorithmic}
\label{algo:01}
\end{algorithm}

Operation $S_{k~  mod~ s}=x^k$ consists in  copying the residual  $x_k$ into the
column $k~ mod~ s$ of the matrix  $S$. After the minimization, the matrix $S$ is
reused with the new values of the residuals.

\section{Experiments using petsc}
\label{sec:04}


In order to see the influence of our algorithm with only one processor, we first
show  a comparison  with the  standard version  of GMRES  and our  algorithm. In
table~\ref{tab:01},  we  show  the  matrices  we  have used  and  some  of  them
characteristics. For all  the matrices, the name, the field,  the number of rows
and the number of nonzero elements is given.

\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|r|r|r|}

The following  parameters have been chosen  for our experiments.   As by default
the restart  of GMRES is performed every  30 iterations, we have  chosen to stop
the     GMRES    every     30    iterations     (line     \ref{algo:solve}    in
Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}).   $s$ is  set to  8. CGLS  is chosen  to  minimize the
least-squares  problem.  Two  conditions  are  used to  stop  CGLS,  either  the
precision is under $1e-40$ or the  number of iterations is greater to $20$.  The
external   precision    is   set    to   $1e-10$   (line    \ref{algo:conv}   in
Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}).  Those  experiments have been performed  on a Intel(R)
Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz with the version 3.5.1 of PETSc.


In  Table~\ref{tab:02}, some  experiments comparing  the solving  of  the linear
systems obtained with the previous matrices  with a GMRES variant and with out 2
stage algorithm are  given. In the second column, it can  be noticed that either
gmres or fgmres is used to  solve the linear system.  According to the matrices,
different preconditioner is  used.  With the 2 stage  algorithm, the same solver
and  the same  preconditionner  is used.   This  Table shows  that  the 2  stage
algorithm  can  drastically  reduce  the  number  of  iterations  to  reach  the
convergence when the  number of iterations for the normal GMRES  is more or less
greater than  500. In fact  this also depends  on tow parameters: the  number of
iterations  to  stop  GMRES  and   the  number  of  iterations  to  perform  the
minimization.
