Accelerating the Solution of Linear Systems by Iterative Refinement in Three Precisions

TL;DR: The results suggest that on architectures for which half precision is efficiently implemented it will be possible to solve certain linear systems up to twice as fast and to greater accuracy, as well as recommending a standard solver that uses LU factorization in single precision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Communication lower bounds and optimal algorithms for numerical linear algebra

TL;DR: This paper describes lower bounds on communication in linear algebra, and presents lower bounds for Strassen-like algorithms, and for iterative methods, in particular Krylov subspace methods applied to sparse matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Analysis of Iterative Refinement and Its Application to Accurate Solution of Ill-Conditioned Sparse Linear Systems

TL;DR: A GMRES-based iterative refinement method that makes use of the computed LU factors as preconditioners and can succeed where standard refinement fails, and that it can provide accurate solutions to systems with condition numbers of order $u^{-1}$ and greater.

Communication-Avoiding Krylov Subspace Methods in Theory and Practice

Erin Carson
TL;DR: A number of theoretical results and algorithmic techniques developed for classical Krylov subspace methods are extended to communication-avoiding KrylovSubspace methods and constraints under which these methods are competitive in terms of both achieving asymptotic speedups and meeting application-specific numerical requirements are identified.
