PCAMGX#

Interface to NVIDIA’s AmgX algebraic multigrid

Options Database Keys#

  • -pc_amgx_amg_method <CLASSICAL,AGGREGATION> - set the AMG algorithm to use

  • -pc_amgx_amg_cycle <V,W,F,CG> - set the AMG cycle type

  • -pc_amgx_smoother <PCG,PCGF,PBICGSTAB,GMRES,FGMRES,JACOBI_L1,BLOCK_JACOBI,GS,MULTICOLOR_GS,MULTICOLOR_ILU,MULTICOLOR_DILU,CHEBYSHEV_POLY,NOSOLVER> - set the AMG pre/post smoother

  • -pc_amgx_jacobi_relaxation_factor - set the relaxation factor for Jacobi smoothing

  • -pc_amgx_gs_symmetric - enforce symmetric Gauss-Seidel smoothing (only applies if GS smoothing is selected)

  • -pc_amgx_selector <SIZE_2,SIZE_4,SIZE_8,MULTI_PAIRWISE,PMIS,HMIS> - set the AMG coarse selector

  • -pc_amgx_presweeps - set the number of AMG pre-sweeps

  • -pc_amgx_postsweeps - set the number of AMG post-sweeps

  • -pc_amgx_max_levels - set the maximum number of levels in the AMG level hierarchy

  • -pc_amgx_strength_threshold - set the strength threshold for the AMG coarsening

  • -pc_amgx_aggressive_levels - set the number of levels (from the finest) that should apply aggressive coarsening

  • -pc_amgx_coarse_solver <DENSE_LU_SOLVER,NOSOLVER> - set the coarse solve

  • -pc_amgx_print_grid_stats - output the AMG grid hierarchy to stdout

  • -pc_amgx_verbose - enable AmgX output

Note#

Implementation will accept host or device pointers, but good performance will require that the KSP is also GPU accelerated so that data is not frequently transferred between host and device.
