46 % *** Authors should verify (and, if needed, correct) their LaTeX system ***
47 % *** with the testflow diagnostic prior to trusting their LaTeX platform ***
48 % *** with production work. IEEE's font choices can trigger bugs that do ***
49 % *** not appear when using other class files. ***
50 % The testflow support page is at:
51 % http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/testflow/
55 % Note that the a4paper option is mainly intended so that authors in
56 % countries using A4 can easily print to A4 and see how their papers will
57 % look in print - the typesetting of the document will not typically be
58 % affected with changes in paper size (but the bottom and side margins will).
59 % Use the testflow package mentioned above to verify correct handling of
60 % both paper sizes by the user's LaTeX system.
62 % Also note that the "draftcls" or "draftclsnofoot", not "draft", option
63 % should be used if it is desired that the figures are to be displayed in
66 \documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}
67 % Add the compsocconf option for Computer Society conferences.
69 % If IEEEtran.cls has not been installed into the LaTeX system files,
70 % manually specify the path to it like:
71 % \documentclass[conference]{../sty/IEEEtran}
77 % Some very useful LaTeX packages include:
78 % (uncomment the ones you want to load)
81 % *** MISC UTILITY PACKAGES ***
84 % Heiko Oberdiek's ifpdf.sty is very useful if you need conditional
85 % compilation based on whether the output is pdf or dvi.
92 % The latest version of ifpdf.sty can be obtained from:
93 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
94 % Also, note that IEEEtran.cls V1.7 and later provides a builtin
95 % \ifCLASSINFOpdf conditional that works the same way.
96 % When switching from latex to pdflatex and vice-versa, the compiler may
97 % have to be run twice to clear warning/error messages.
104 % *** CITATION PACKAGES ***
107 % cite.sty was written by Donald Arseneau
108 % V1.6 and later of IEEEtran pre-defines the format of the cite.sty package
109 % \cite{} output to follow that of IEEE. Loading the cite package will
110 % result in citation numbers being automatically sorted and properly
111 % "compressed/ranged". e.g., [1], [9], [2], [7], [5], [6] without using
112 % cite.sty will become [1], [2], [5]--[7], [9] using cite.sty. cite.sty's
113 % \cite will automatically add leading space, if needed. Use cite.sty's
114 % noadjust option (cite.sty V3.8 and later) if you want to turn this off.
115 % cite.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. Be sure and use
116 % version 4.0 (2003-05-27) and later if using hyperref.sty. cite.sty does
117 % not currently provide for hyperlinked citations.
118 % The latest version can be obtained at:
119 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cite/
120 % The documentation is contained in the cite.sty file itself.
127 % *** GRAPHICS RELATED PACKAGES ***
130 % \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
131 % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
132 % \graphicspath{{../pdf/}{../jpeg/}}
133 % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
134 % every instance of \includegraphics
135 % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf,.jpeg,.png}
137 % or other class option (dvipsone, dvipdf, if not using dvips). graphicx
138 % will default to the driver specified in the system graphics.cfg if no
139 % driver is specified.
140 % \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
141 % declare the path(s) where your graphic files are
142 % \graphicspath{{../eps/}}
143 % and their extensions so you won't have to specify these with
144 % every instance of \includegraphics
145 % \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.eps}
147 % graphicx was written by David Carlisle and Sebastian Rahtz. It is
148 % required if you want graphics, photos, etc. graphicx.sty is already
149 % installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
151 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/graphics/
152 % Another good source of documentation is "Using Imported Graphics in
153 % LaTeX2e" by Keith Reckdahl which can be found as epslatex.ps or
154 % epslatex.pdf at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/
156 % latex, and pdflatex in dvi mode, support graphics in encapsulated
157 % postscript (.eps) format. pdflatex in pdf mode supports graphics
158 % in .pdf, .jpeg, .png and .mps (metapost) formats. Users should ensure
159 % that all non-photo figures use a vector format (.eps, .pdf, .mps) and
160 % not a bitmapped formats (.jpeg, .png). IEEE frowns on bitmapped formats
161 % which can result in "jaggedy"/blurry rendering of lines and letters as
162 % well as large increases in file sizes.
164 % You can find documentation about the pdfTeX application at:
165 % http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex
171 % *** MATH PACKAGES ***
173 %\usepackage[cmex10]{amsmath}
174 % A popular package from the American Mathematical Society that provides
175 % many useful and powerful commands for dealing with mathematics. If using
176 % it, be sure to load this package with the cmex10 option to ensure that
177 % only type 1 fonts will utilized at all point sizes. Without this option,
178 % it is possible that some math symbols, particularly those within
179 % footnotes, will be rendered in bitmap form which will result in a
180 % document that can not be IEEE Xplore compliant!
182 % Also, note that the amsmath package sets \interdisplaylinepenalty to 10000
183 % thus preventing page breaks from occurring within multiline equations. Use:
184 %\interdisplaylinepenalty=2500
185 % after loading amsmath to restore such page breaks as IEEEtran.cls normally
186 % does. amsmath.sty is already installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest
187 % version and documentation can be obtained at:
188 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex/math/
194 % *** SPECIALIZED LIST PACKAGES ***
196 %\usepackage{algorithmic}
197 % algorithmic.sty was written by Peter Williams and Rogerio Brito.
198 % This package provides an algorithmic environment fo describing algorithms.
199 % You can use the algorithmic environment in-text or within a figure
200 % environment to provide for a floating algorithm. Do NOT use the algorithm
201 % floating environment provided by algorithm.sty (by the same authors) or
202 % algorithm2e.sty (by Christophe Fiorio) as IEEE does not use dedicated
203 % algorithm float types and packages that provide these will not provide
204 % correct IEEE style captions. The latest version and documentation of
205 % algorithmic.sty can be obtained at:
206 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithms/
207 % There is also a support site at:
208 % http://algorithms.berlios.de/index.html
209 % Also of interest may be the (relatively newer and more customizable)
210 % algorithmicx.sty package by Szasz Janos:
211 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithmicx/
216 % *** ALIGNMENT PACKAGES ***
219 % Frank Mittelbach's and David Carlisle's array.sty patches and improves
220 % the standard LaTeX2e array and tabular environments to provide better
221 % appearance and additional user controls. As the default LaTeX2e table
222 % generation code is lacking to the point of almost being broken with
223 % respect to the quality of the end results, all users are strongly
224 % advised to use an enhanced (at the very least that provided by array.sty)
225 % set of table tools. array.sty is already installed on most systems. The
226 % latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
227 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/
230 %\usepackage{mdwmath}
232 % Also highly recommended is Mark Wooding's extremely powerful MDW tools,
233 % especially mdwmath.sty and mdwtab.sty which are used to format equations
234 % and tables, respectively. The MDWtools set is already installed on most
235 % LaTeX systems. The lastest version and documentation is available at:
236 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mdwtools/
239 % IEEEtran contains the IEEEeqnarray family of commands that can be used to
240 % generate multiline equations as well as matrices, tables, etc., of high
244 %\usepackage{eqparbox}
245 % Also of notable interest is Scott Pakin's eqparbox package for creating
246 % (automatically sized) equal width boxes - aka "natural width parboxes".
248 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox/
254 % *** SUBFIGURE PACKAGES ***
255 %\usepackage[tight,footnotesize]{subfigure}
256 % subfigure.sty was written by Steven Douglas Cochran. This package makes it
257 % easy to put subfigures in your figures. e.g., "Figure 1a and 1b". For IEEE
258 % work, it is a good idea to load it with the tight package option to reduce
259 % the amount of white space around the subfigures. subfigure.sty is already
260 % installed on most LaTeX systems. The latest version and documentation can
262 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/macros/latex/contrib/subfigure/
263 % subfigure.sty has been superceeded by subfig.sty.
267 %\usepackage[caption=false]{caption}
268 %\usepackage[font=footnotesize]{subfig}
269 % subfig.sty, also written by Steven Douglas Cochran, is the modern
270 % replacement for subfigure.sty. However, subfig.sty requires and
271 % automatically loads Axel Sommerfeldt's caption.sty which will override
272 % IEEEtran.cls handling of captions and this will result in nonIEEE style
273 % figure/table captions. To prevent this problem, be sure and preload
274 % caption.sty with its "caption=false" package option. This is will preserve
275 % IEEEtran.cls handing of captions. Version 1.3 (2005/06/28) and later
276 % (recommended due to many improvements over 1.2) of subfig.sty supports
277 % the caption=false option directly:
278 %\usepackage[caption=false,font=footnotesize]{subfig}
280 % The latest version and documentation can be obtained at:
281 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig/
282 % The latest version and documentation of caption.sty can be obtained at:
283 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/
288 % *** FLOAT PACKAGES ***
290 %\usepackage{fixltx2e}
291 % fixltx2e, the successor to the earlier fix2col.sty, was written by
292 % Frank Mittelbach and David Carlisle. This package corrects a few problems
293 % in the LaTeX2e kernel, the most notable of which is that in current
294 % LaTeX2e releases, the ordering of single and double column floats is not
295 % guaranteed to be preserved. Thus, an unpatched LaTeX2e can allow a
296 % single column figure to be placed prior to an earlier double column
297 % figure. The latest version and documentation can be found at:
298 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/base/
302 %\usepackage{stfloats}
303 % stfloats.sty was written by Sigitas Tolusis. This package gives LaTeX2e
304 % the ability to do double column floats at the bottom of the page as well
305 % as the top. (e.g., "\begin{figure*}[!b]" is not normally possible in
306 % LaTeX2e). It also provides a command:
308 % to enable the placement of footnotes below bottom floats (the standard
309 % LaTeX2e kernel puts them above bottom floats). This is an invasive package
310 % which rewrites many portions of the LaTeX2e float routines. It may not work
311 % with other packages that modify the LaTeX2e float routines. The latest
312 % version and documentation can be obtained at:
313 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sttools/
314 % Documentation is contained in the stfloats.sty comments as well as in the
315 % presfull.pdf file. Do not use the stfloats baselinefloat ability as IEEE
316 % does not allow \baselineskip to stretch. Authors submitting work to the
317 % IEEE should note that IEEE rarely uses double column equations and
318 % that authors should try to avoid such use. Do not be tempted to use the
319 % cuted.sty or midfloat.sty packages (also by Sigitas Tolusis) as IEEE does
320 % not format its papers in such ways.
326 % *** PDF, URL AND HYPERLINK PACKAGES ***
329 % url.sty was written by Donald Arseneau. It provides better support for
330 % handling and breaking URLs. url.sty is already installed on most LaTeX
331 % systems. The latest version can be obtained at:
332 % http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
333 % Read the url.sty source comments for usage information. Basically,
340 % *** Do not adjust lengths that control margins, column widths, etc. ***
341 % *** Do not use packages that alter fonts (such as pslatex). ***
342 % There should be no need to do such things with IEEEtran.cls V1.6 and later.

537 Iterative methods are become more attractive than direct ones to solve very
538 large sparse linear systems. They are more effective in a parallel context and
539 require less memory and arithmetic operations than direct methods. A number of
540 iterative methods are proposed and adapted by many researchers and the increased
541 need for solving very large sparse linear systems triggered the development of
542 efficient iterative techniques suitable for the parallel processing.
544 Most of the successful iterative methods currently available are based on Krylov
545 subspaces which consist in forming a basis of a sequence of successive matrix
546 powers times an initial vector for example the residual. These methods are based
547 on orthogonality of vectors of the Krylov subspace basis to solve linear
548 systems. The most well-known iterative Krylov subspace methods are Conjugate
549 Gradient method and GMRES method (generalized minimal residual).
551 However, iterative methods suffer from scalability problems on parallel
552 computing platforms with many processors due to their need for reduction
553 operations and collective communications to perform matrix-vector
554 multiplications. The communications on large clusters with thousands of cores
555 and large sizes of messages can significantly affect the performances of
556 iterative methods. In practice, Krylov subspace iteration methods are often used
557 with preconditioners in order to increase their convergence and accelerate their
558 performances. However, most of the good preconditioners are not scalable on
561 In this paper we propose a two-stage algorithm based on two nested iterations
562 called inner-outer iterations. This algorithm consists in solving the sparse
563 linear system iteratively with a small number of inner iterations and restarts
564 the outer step with a new solution minimizing some error functions over a Krylov
565 subspace. This algorithm is iterative and easy to parallelize on large clusters
566 and the minimization technique improves its convergence and performances.
568 The present paper is organized as follows. In Section~\ref{sec:02} some related
569 works are presented. Section~\ref{sec:03} presents our two-stage algorithm based
570 on Krylov subspace iteration methods. Section~\ref{sec:04} shows some
571 experimental results obtained on large clusters of our algorithm using routines

590 \section{A Krylov two-stage algorithm}
592 A two-stage algorithm is proposed to solve large sparse linear systems of the
593 form $Ax=b$, where $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ is a sparse and square
594 nonsingular matrix, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is the solution vector and
595 $b\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is the right-hand side. The algorithm is implemented as an
596 inner-outer iteration solver based on iterative Krylov methods. The main key
597 points of our solver are given in Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}.
599 In order to accelerate the convergence, the outer iteration is implemented as an
600 iterative Krylov method which minimizes some error functions over a Krylov
601 subspace~\cite{saad96}. At each iteration, the sparse linear system $Ax=b$ is
602 solved iteratively with an iterative method, for example GMRES
603 method~\cite{saad86} or some of its variants, and the Krylov subspace that we
604 used is spanned by a basis $S$ composed of successive solutions issued from the
607 S = \{x^1, x^2, \ldots, x^s\} \text{,~} s\leq n.
609 The advantage of such a Krylov subspace is that we neither need an orthogonal
610 basis nor any synchronization between processors to generate this basis. The
611 algorithm is periodically restarted every $s$ iterations with a new initial
612 guess $x=S\alpha$ which minimizes the residual norm $\|b-Ax\|_2$ over the Krylov
613 subspace spanned by vectors of $S$, where $\alpha$ is a solution of the normal
618 which is associated with the least-squares problem
620 \underset{\alpha\in\mathbb{R}^{s}}{min}\|b-R\alpha\|_2
623 such that $R=AS$ is a dense rectangular matrix in $\mathbb{R}^{n\times s}$,
624 $s\ll n$, and $R^T$ denotes the transpose of matrix $R$. We use an iterative
625 method to solve the least-squares problem~(\ref{eq:01}) such as CGLS
626 ~\cite{hestenes52} or LSQR~\cite{paige82} which are more appropriate than a
627 direct method in the parallel context.

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

683 \caption{Main characteristics of the sparse matrices chosen from the Davis collection}
688 The following parameters have been chosen for our experiments. As by default
689 the restart of GMRES is performed every 30 iterations, we have chosen to stop
690 the GMRES every 30 iterations (line \ref{algo:solve} in
691 Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}). $s$ is set to 8. CGLS is chosen to minimize the
692 least-squares problem. Two conditions are used to stop CGLS, either the
693 precision is under $1e-40$ or the number of iterations is greater to $20$. The
694 external precision is set to $1e-10$ (line \ref{algo:conv} in
695 Algorithm~\ref{algo:01}). Those experiments have been performed on a Intel(R)
696 Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz with the version 3.5.1 of PETSc.
699 In Table~\ref{tab:02}, some experiments comparing the solving of the linear
700 systems obtained with the previous matrices with a GMRES variant and with out 2
701 stage algorithm are given. In the second column, it can be noticed that either
702 gmres or fgmres is used to solve the linear system. According to the matrices,
703 different preconditioner is used. With the 2 stage algorithm, the same solver
704 and the same preconditionner is used. This Table shows that the 2 stage
705 algorithm can drastically reduce the number of iterations to reach the
706 convergence when the number of iterations for the normal GMRES is more or less
707 greater than 500. In fact this also depends on tow parameters: the number of
708 iterations to stop GMRES and the number of iterations to perform the
