[Scalapack] Please Help with using pdgesv

Hello all:

 I'm trying to solve a linear system (9 by 9 full matrix) by pdgesv in c. I use the example code (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1683&sid=26b4f2535c0c3856d02bdadd62d08c5f#) and compiling is ok. However, there is a error info after calling pdgesv: 

“On entry to PDGESV parameter number 602 had an illegal value”.

According to the PDGESV source code, it means the 2th element of the 6th argument was wrong, which means the descA[1] is wrong?

However, descA[1] (ictxt) is rewrited by Cblacs_gridinit(&ictxt, "Row", nprow, npcol). 

after printf ictxt, I find all ictxt = 0. IS this reason lead to the error message?

I really need to solve a large dense(full) matrix, can someone help me or give me some advice?

The following is my C code:

PS: I've called MPI_Init(&argc,&argv) before entering Scalapack(int argc, char ** argv)  and called MPI_Finalize() after leaving Scalapack(int argc, char ** argv).

Hi 

I’ve corrected the example to properly define process grid and init MPI.

Now it works fine for any number of MPI processes. Attach here. 

and the article :  https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-cluster-mkl-pblasscalapack-fortran-routine-in-your-c-program/  had pdgemv sample code https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/article/165948/pdgemv.c

Hi Ying,

I ran your code on NERSC Cori supercomputer, but I got the error information:

Hi Yang, 

Could you also show your compile command and run command, MPI version, MKL version etc information? 

There was some MPI sample in MKL install directory, could you please try them first and see if mkl work fine on the supercomputer? 

Best Regards,

Ying

Hi Ying,

I'm using the NERSC cori supercomputer, all the information is at:

http://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/cori/

The compile command is:

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

source /opt/intel/impi/5.0.2.044/bin64/mpivars.sh

CC -o execute pdgesv.cpp -mkl:cluster

The run command is sbatch test.sl

where test.sl is

#!/bin/bash -l

#SBATCH --partition debug

#SBATCH --nodes 2

#SBATCH --time=00:03:00

cd $SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR

srun -n 2 ./execute;

Hi Yang,

You are probably using Cray MPI that does not support tags having large value. MKL used to use such tags internally. Now the issue is fixed, and if you use a recent MKL version (e.g. MKL 11.3.1) the test should pass.

Alternatively, it should work with Intel MPI.

Thanks
Dima

If I change the number of processes, the solution of linear equation will be different. Also, the solutions of this code is different from the Matlab solution. Let us solve the linear equation Ax = b

A is 

    19     3     1    12     1    16     1     3    11
   -19     3     1    12     1    16     1     3    11
   -19    -3     1    12     1    16     1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1    12     1    16     1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1   -12     1    16     1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1   -12    -1    16     1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1   -12    -1   -16     1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1   -12    -1   -16    -1     3    11
   -19    -3    -1   -12    -1   -16    -1    -3    11

b is

     0
     0
     1
     0
     0
     0
     0
     0
     0

If we use Matlab, the solution is:

         0
   -0.1667
    0.5000
         0
         0
         0
         0
         0
         0

If we use this code for one process, the solution is:

answer[0]: 0.000000

answer[1]: 0.000000

answer[2]: 0.500000

answer[3]: -0.500000

answer[4]: -0.000000

answer[5]: -0.000000

answer[6]: 0.000000

answer[7]: -0.000000

answer[8]: -0.000000

If we use this code for two processes, the solution is:

answer[0]: 0.003434

answer[1]: 0.016138

answer[2]: 0.019397

answer[3]: 0.033449

answer[4]: -0.025858

answer[5]: 0.013383

answer[6]: 0.022018

answer[7]: -0.060255

answer[8]: 0.025895

If we use this code for three processes, the solution is:

answer[0]: -0.023551

answer[1]: 0.017566

answer[2]: 0.004775

answer[3]: 0.004377

answer[4]: 0.023704

answer[5]: 0.027967

answer[6]: -0.023534

answer[7]: 0.017509

answer[8]: 0.000398

Can you tell me where went wrong? How can I get the correct solution by this code?

The matrix should be distributed correctly. For example, consider distribution of rows. Let N be global number of rows, LOCR the local number of rows as obtained with a call to numroc(), B the block size, p my processor row, P the number of processor rows. Then for locn = 0...LOCR-1 the global index n=0...N-1  is computed thus:

n = locn % B // offset within current block (block locn/B)
   + B*p   // offset of the current block within current cycle of block-cyclic distribution
   + P*B*(locn/B)   // offset of the current cycle on the grid of P processors
   ;

 

Once you know (i,j) for (loci,locj) you can initialize local_matrix[loci + locR*locj] = A[i + matrix_size*j]. Please note that ScaLAPACK supports only column-major ordering of matrices. That is, local matrix element (i,j) should be located at offset i+locR*j, not at i*locC + j,

I hope this will help you.

Thanks
Dima

Hi Dima,

Thank you much for the correction. 

The proper code for initialization of local matrix should be inserted before the call of pdgesv:  ( I will reedit the above of the code)

for(i=0;i<locR;++i) for(j=0;j<locC;++j) {

  int gi = i%block + block*myrow + (i/block)*block*nprow;

  int gj = j%block + block*mycol + (j/block)*block*npcol;

  local_matrix[i + locR*j] = A[gi*matrix_size + gj]; // note: col-major <- row-major

  local_know_vector = B[gi];

}

 

The solution can be gathered to some rank, or it can be just printed:

 

for (i = 0; i < locR; i++)

{

  int gi = i%block + block*myrow + (i/block)*block*nprow;

  if (mycol == 0) printf("res[ %i ]=%lg\n",gi,local_know_vector);

}

 

 

Here are a few runs:

 

$ mpirun -np 1 --prepend-rank ./a.out | sort -k2

[0] res[ 0 ]=0

[0] res[ 1 ]=-0.166667

[0] res[ 2 ]=0.5

[0] res[ 3 ]=0

[0] res[ 4 ]=0

[0] res[ 5 ]=0

[0] res[ 6 ]=0

[0] res[ 7 ]=0

[0] res[ 8 ]=0

 

 

$ mpirun -np 4 --prepend-rank ./a.out | sort -k2

[0] res[ 0 ]=0

[0] res[ 1 ]=-0.166667

[2] res[ 2 ]=0.5

[2] res[ 3 ]=0

[0] res[ 4 ]=0

[0] res[ 5 ]=0

[2] res[ 6 ]=0

[2] res[ 7 ]=0

[0] res[ 8 ]=0

 

Thanks

Ying
