Detailed Description

Implementation of a parallel vector class based on PETSC and using MPI communication to synchronize distributed operations. All the functionality is actually in the base class, except for the calls to generate a parallel vector. This is possible since PETSc only works on an abstract vector type and internally distributes to functions that do the actual work depending on the actual vector type (much like using virtual functions). Only the functions creating a vector of specific type differ, and are implemented in this particular class.

Parallel communication model

The parallel functionality of PETSc is built on top of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). MPI's communication model is built on collective communications: if one process wants something from another, that other process has to be willing to accept this communication. A process cannot query data from another process by calling a remote function, without that other process expecting such a transaction. The consequence is that most of the operations in the base class of this class have to be called collectively. For example, if you want to compute the l2 norm of a parallel vector, all processes across which this vector is shared have to call the l2_norm function. If you don't do this, but instead only call the l2_norm function on one process, then the following happens: This one process will call one of the collective MPI functions and wait for all the other processes to join in on this. Since the other processes don't call this function, you will either get a time-out on the first process, or, worse, by the time the next a call to a PETSc function generates an MPI message on the other processes, you will get a cryptic message that only a subset of processes attempted a communication. These bugs can be very hard to figure out, unless you are well-acquainted with the communication model of MPI, and know which functions may generate MPI messages.

One particular case, where an MPI message may be generated unexpectedly is discussed below.

Accessing individual elements of a vector

PETSc does allow read access to individual elements of a vector, but in the distributed case only to elements that are stored locally. We implement this through calls like d=vec(i). However, if you access an element outside the locally stored range, an exception is generated.

In contrast to read access, PETSc (and the respective deal.II wrapper classes) allow to write (or add) to individual elements of vectors, even if they are stored on a different process. You can do this writing, for example, vec(i)=d or vec(i)+=d, or similar operations. There is one catch, however, that may lead to very confusing error messages: PETSc requires application programs to call the compress() function when they switch from adding, to elements to writing to elements. The reasoning is that all processes might accumulate addition operations to elements, even if multiple processes write to the same elements. By the time we call compress() the next time, all these additions are executed. However, if one process adds to an element, and another overwrites to it, the order of execution would yield non-deterministic behavior if we don't make sure that a synchronization with compress() happens in between.

In order to make sure these calls to compress() happen at the appropriate time, the deal.II wrappers keep a state variable that store which is the presently allowed operation: additions or writes. If it encounters an operation of the opposite kind, it calls compress() and flips the state. This can sometimes lead to very confusing behavior, in code that may for example look like this:

...
// do some write operations on the vector
for (unsigned int i=0; i<vector.size(); ++i)
vector(i) = i;
// do some additions to vector elements, but only for some elements
for (unsigned int i=0; i<vector.size(); ++i)
if (some_condition(i) == true)
vector(i) += 1;
// do another collective operation
const double norm = vector.l2_norm();
double norm(const FEValuesBase< dim > &fe, const ArrayView< const std::vector< Tensor< 1, dim > > > &Du)
Definition: divergence.h:472

This code can run into trouble: by the time we see the first addition operation, we need to flush the overwrite buffers for the vector, and the deal.II library will do so by calling compress(). However, it will only do so for all processes that actually do an addition – if the condition is never true for one of the processes, then this one will not get to the actual compress() call, whereas all the other ones do. This gets us into trouble, since all the other processes hang in the call to flush the write buffers, while the one other process advances to the call to compute the l2 norm. At this time, you will get an error that some operation was attempted by only a subset of processes. This behavior may seem surprising, unless you know that write/addition operations on single elements may trigger this behavior.

The problem described here may be avoided by placing additional calls to compress(), or making sure that all processes do the same type of operations at the same time, for example by placing zero additions if necessary.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Vector() [1/7]

Vector< Number >::Vector ( )

Default constructor. Initialize the vector as empty.

Definition at line 31 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ Vector() [2/7]

Vector< Number >::Vector ( const MPI_Comm communicator,
const size_type  n,
const size_type  locally_owned_size 
)
explicit

Constructor. Set dimension to n and initialize all elements with zero.

  • locally_owned_size denotes the size of the chunk that shall be stored on the present process.
  • communicator denotes the MPI communicator over which the different parts of the vector shall communicate

The constructor is made explicit to avoid accidents like this: v=0;. Presumably, the user wants to set every element of the vector to zero, but instead, what happens is this call: v=Vector<number>(0);, i.e. the vector is replaced by one of length zero.

Definition at line 42 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ Vector() [3/7]

template<typename Number >
PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector::Vector ( const MPI_Comm communicator,
const ::Vector< Number > &  v,
const size_type  locally_owned_size 
)
explicit

Copy-constructor from deal.II vectors. Sets the dimension to that of the given vector, and copies all elements.

  • locally_owned_size denotes the size of the chunk that shall be stored on the present process.
  • communicator denotes the MPI communicator over which the different parts of the vector shall communicate

◆ Vector() [4/7]

Vector< Number >::Vector ( const MPI_Comm communicator,
const VectorBase v,
const size_type  local_size 
)
explicit

Copy-constructor the values from a PETSc wrapper vector class.

  • local_size denotes the size of the chunk that shall be stored on the present process.
  • communicator denotes the MPI communicator over which the different parts of the vector shall communicate
Deprecated:
The use of objects that are explicitly of type VectorBase is deprecated: use PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector instead.

Definition at line 52 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ Vector() [5/7]

Vector< Number >::Vector ( const IndexSet local,
const IndexSet ghost,
const MPI_Comm communicator 
)

Construct a new parallel ghosted PETSc vector from IndexSets.

Note that local must be ascending and 1:1, see IndexSet::is_ascending_and_one_to_one(). In particular, the DoFs in local need to be contiguous, meaning you can only create vectors from a DoFHandler with several finite element components if they are not reordered by component (use a PETScWrappers::BlockVector otherwise). The global size of the vector is determined by local.size(). The global indices in ghost are supplied as ghost indices so that they can be read locally.

Note that the ghost IndexSet may be empty and that any indices already contained in local are ignored during construction. That way, the ghost parameter can equal the set of locally relevant degrees of freedom, see step-32.

Note
This operation always creates a ghosted vector, which is considered read-only.

◆ Vector() [6/7]

Vector< Number >::Vector ( const IndexSet local,
const MPI_Comm communicator 
)
explicit

Construct a new parallel PETSc vector without ghost elements from an IndexSet.

Note that local must be ascending and 1:1, see IndexSet::is_ascending_and_one_to_one(). In particular, the DoFs in local need to be contiguous, meaning you can only create vectors from a DoFHandler with several finite element components if they are not reordered by component (use a PETScWrappers::BlockVector otherwise).

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void Vector< Number >::clear ( )
overridevirtual

Release all memory and return to a state just like after having called the default constructor.

Reimplemented from PETScWrappers::VectorBase.

Definition at line 152 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ operator=() [1/3]

Vector & Vector< Number >::operator= ( const Vector v)

Copy the given vector. Resize the present vector if necessary. Also take over the MPI communicator of v.

Definition at line 115 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ operator=() [2/3]

Vector & PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector::operator= ( const PetscScalar  s)

Set all components of the vector to the given number s. Simply pass this down to the base class, but we still need to declare this function to make the example given in the discussion about making the constructor explicit work.

◆ operator=() [3/3]

template<typename number >
Vector & PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector::operator= ( const ::Vector< number > &  v)

Copy the values of a deal.II vector (as opposed to those of the PETSc vector wrapper class) into this object.

Contrary to the case of sequential vectors, this operators requires that the present vector already has the correct size, since we need to have a partition and a communicator present which we otherwise can't get from the source vector.

◆ reinit() [1/4]

void Vector< Number >::reinit ( const MPI_Comm communicator,
const size_type  N,
const size_type  locally_owned_size,
const bool  omit_zeroing_entries = false 
)

Change the dimension of the vector to N. It is unspecified how resizing the vector affects the memory allocation of this object; i.e., it is not guaranteed that resizing it to a smaller size actually also reduces memory consumption, or if for efficiency the same amount of memory is used

locally_owned_size denotes how many of the N values shall be stored locally on the present process. for less data.

communicator denotes the MPI communicator henceforth to be used for this vector.

If omit_zeroing_entries is false, the vector is filled by zeros. Otherwise, the elements are left an unspecified state.

Definition at line 163 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ reinit() [2/4]

void Vector< Number >::reinit ( const Vector v,
const bool  omit_zeroing_entries = false 
)

Change the dimension to that of the vector v, and also take over the partitioning into local sizes as well as the MPI communicator. The same applies as for the other reinit function.

The elements of v are not copied, i.e. this function is the same as calling reinit(v.size(), v.locally_owned_size(), omit_zeroing_entries).

Definition at line 206 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ reinit() [3/4]

void Vector< Number >::reinit ( const IndexSet local,
const IndexSet ghost,
const MPI_Comm communicator 
)

Reinit as a vector with ghost elements. See the constructor with same signature for more details.

See also
vectors with ghost elements

Definition at line 227 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ reinit() [4/4]

void Vector< Number >::reinit ( const IndexSet local,
const MPI_Comm communicator 
)

Reinit as a vector without ghost elements. See constructor with same signature for more details.

vectors with ghost elements

Definition at line 245 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ get_mpi_communicator()

const MPI_Comm & PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector::get_mpi_communicator ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return a reference to the MPI communicator object in use with this vector.

Reimplemented from PETScWrappers::VectorBase.

◆ print()

void Vector< Number >::print ( std::ostream &  out,
const unsigned int  precision = 3,
const bool  scientific = true,
const bool  across = true 
) const

Print to a stream. precision denotes the desired precision with which values shall be printed, scientific whether scientific notation shall be used. If across is true then the vector is printed in a line, while if false then the elements are printed on a separate line each.

Note
This function overloads the one in the base class to ensure that the right thing happens for parallel vectors that are distributed across processors.

Definition at line 363 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ all_zero()

bool Vector< Number >::all_zero ( ) const

Return whether the vector contains only elements with value zero. This is a collective operation. This function is expensive, because potentially all elements have to be checked.

Note
This function overloads the one in the base class to make this a collective operation.

Definition at line 348 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ create_vector() [1/2]

void Vector< Number >::create_vector ( const size_type  n,
const size_type  locally_owned_size 
)
protectedvirtual

Create a vector of length n. For this class, we create a parallel vector. n denotes the total size of the vector to be created. locally_owned_size denotes how many of these elements shall be stored locally.

Definition at line 259 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ create_vector() [2/2]

void Vector< Number >::create_vector ( const size_type  n,
const size_type  locally_owned_size,
const IndexSet ghostnodes 
)
protectedvirtual

Create a vector of global length n, local size locally_owned_size and with the specified ghost indices. Note that you need to call update_ghost_values() before accessing those.

Definition at line 277 of file petsc_parallel_vector.cc.

◆ compress()

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::compress ( const VectorOperation::values  operation)
inherited

Compress the underlying representation of the PETSc object, i.e. flush the buffers of the vector object if it has any. This function is necessary after writing into a vector element-by-element and before anything else can be done on it.

See Compressing distributed objects for more information.

Definition at line 373 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ operator==()

bool PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator== ( const VectorBase v) const
inherited

Test for equality. This function assumes that the present vector and the one to compare with have the same size already, since comparing vectors of different sizes makes not much sense anyway.

Definition at line 221 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ operator!=()

bool PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator!= ( const VectorBase v) const
inherited

Test for inequality. This function assumes that the present vector and the one to compare with have the same size already, since comparing vectors of different sizes makes not much sense anyway.

Definition at line 235 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ size()

VectorBase::size_type PETScWrappers::VectorBase::size ( ) const
inherited

Return the global dimension of the vector.

Definition at line 249 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ local_size()

VectorBase::size_type PETScWrappers::VectorBase::local_size ( ) const
inherited

Return the local dimension of the vector, i.e. the number of elements stored on the present MPI process. For sequential vectors, this number is the same as size(), but for parallel vectors it may be smaller.

To figure out which elements exactly are stored locally, use local_range() or locally_owned_elements().

Deprecated:
use locally_owned_size() instead.

Definition at line 273 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ locally_owned_size()

VectorBase::size_type PETScWrappers::VectorBase::locally_owned_size ( ) const
inherited

Return the local dimension of the vector, i.e. the number of elements stored on the present MPI process. For sequential vectors, this number is the same as size(), but for parallel vectors it may be smaller.

To figure out which elements exactly are stored locally, use local_range() or locally_owned_elements().

Definition at line 261 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ local_range()

std::pair< VectorBase::size_type, VectorBase::size_type > PETScWrappers::VectorBase::local_range ( ) const
inherited

Return a pair of indices indicating which elements of this vector are stored locally. The first number is the index of the first element stored, the second the index of the one past the last one that is stored locally. If this is a sequential vector, then the result will be the pair (0,N), otherwise it will be a pair (i,i+n), where n=locally_owned_size().

Definition at line 285 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ in_local_range()

bool PETScWrappers::VectorBase::in_local_range ( const size_type  index) const
inherited

Return whether index is in the local range or not, see also local_range().

◆ locally_owned_elements()

IndexSet PETScWrappers::VectorBase::locally_owned_elements ( ) const
inherited

Return an index set that describes which elements of this vector are owned by the current processor. Note that this index set does not include elements this vector may store locally as ghost elements but that are in fact owned by another processor. As a consequence, the index sets returned on different processors if this is a distributed vector will form disjoint sets that add up to the complete index set. Obviously, if a vector is created on only one processor, then the result would satisfy

vec.locally_owned_elements() == complete_index_set (vec.size())
IndexSet complete_index_set(const IndexSet::size_type N)
Definition: index_set.h:1013

◆ has_ghost_elements()

bool PETScWrappers::VectorBase::has_ghost_elements ( ) const
inherited

Return if the vector contains ghost elements.

See also
vectors with ghost elements

◆ update_ghost_values()

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::update_ghost_values ( ) const
inherited

This function only exists for compatibility with the LinearAlgebra::distributed::Vector class and does nothing: this class implements ghost value updates in a different way that is a better fit with the underlying PETSc vector object.

◆ operator()() [1/2]

reference PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator() ( const size_type  index)
inherited

Provide access to a given element, both read and write.

◆ operator()() [2/2]

PetscScalar PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator() ( const size_type  index) const
inherited

Provide read-only access to an element.

◆ operator[]() [1/2]

reference PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator[] ( const size_type  index)
inherited

Provide access to a given element, both read and write.

Exactly the same as operator().

◆ operator[]() [2/2]

PetscScalar PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator[] ( const size_type  index) const
inherited

Provide read-only access to an element.

Exactly the same as operator().

◆ set()

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::set ( const std::vector< size_type > &  indices,
const std::vector< PetscScalar > &  values 
)
inherited

A collective set operation: instead of setting individual elements of a vector, this function allows to set a whole set of elements at once. The indices of the elements to be set are stated in the first argument, the corresponding values in the second.

Definition at line 298 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ extract_subvector_to() [1/2]

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::extract_subvector_to ( const std::vector< size_type > &  indices,
std::vector< PetscScalar > &  values 
) const
inherited

Instead of getting individual elements of a vector via operator(), this function allows getting a whole set of elements at once. The indices of the elements to be read are stated in the first argument, the corresponding values are returned in the second.

If the current vector is called v, then this function is the equivalent to the code

for (unsigned int i=0; i<indices.size(); ++i)
values[i] = v[indices[i]];
Precondition
The sizes of the indices and values arrays must be identical.

◆ extract_subvector_to() [2/2]

template<typename ForwardIterator , typename OutputIterator >
void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::extract_subvector_to ( const ForwardIterator  indices_begin,
const ForwardIterator  indices_end,
OutputIterator  values_begin 
) const
inherited

Instead of getting individual elements of a vector via operator(), this function allows getting a whole set of elements at once. In contrast to the previous function, this function obtains the indices of the elements by dereferencing all elements of the iterator range provided by the first two arguments, and puts the vector values into memory locations obtained by dereferencing a range of iterators starting at the location pointed to by the third argument.

If the current vector is called v, then this function is the equivalent to the code

ForwardIterator indices_p = indices_begin;
OutputIterator values_p = values_begin;
while (indices_p != indices_end)
{
*values_p = v[*indices_p];
++indices_p;
++values_p;
}
Precondition
It must be possible to write into as many memory locations starting at values_begin as there are iterators between indices_begin and indices_end.

◆ add() [1/6]

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::add ( const std::vector< size_type > &  indices,
const std::vector< PetscScalar > &  values 
)
inherited

A collective add operation: This function adds a whole set of values stored in values to the vector components specified by indices.

Definition at line 309 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ add() [2/6]

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::add ( const std::vector< size_type > &  indices,
const ::Vector< PetscScalar > &  values 
)
inherited

◆ l1_norm()

VectorBase::real_type PETScWrappers::VectorBase::l1_norm ( ) const
inherited

\(l_1\)-norm of the vector. The sum of the absolute values.

Note
In complex-valued PETSc priori to 3.7.0 this norm is implemented as the sum of absolute values of real and imaginary parts of elements of a complex vector.

◆ add_and_dot()

PetscScalar PETScWrappers::VectorBase::add_and_dot ( const PetscScalar  a,
const VectorBase V,
const VectorBase W 
)
inherited

Performs a combined operation of a vector addition and a subsequent inner product, returning the value of the inner product. In other words, the result of this function is the same as if the user called

this->add(a, V);
return_value = *this * W;
void add(const std::vector< size_type > &indices, const std::vector< PetscScalar > &values)
static const char V

The reason this function exists is for compatibility with deal.II's own vector classes which can implement this functionality with less memory transfer. However, for PETSc vectors such a combined operation is not natively supported and thus the cost is completely equivalent as calling the two methods separately.

For complex-valued vectors, the scalar product in the second step is implemented as \(\left<v,w\right>=\sum_i v_i \bar{w_i}\).

◆ max()

VectorBase::real_type PETScWrappers::VectorBase::max ( ) const
inherited

Return the value of the vector element with the largest positive value.

Deprecated:
This function has been deprecated to improve compatibility with other classes inheriting from VectorSpaceVector. If you need to use this functionality then use the PETSc function VecMax instead.

◆ swap()

void PETScWrappers::VectorBase::swap ( VectorBase v)
inherited

Swap the contents of this vector and the other vector v. One could do this operation with a temporary variable and copying over the data elements, but this function is significantly more efficient since it only swaps the pointers to the data of the two vectors and therefore does not need to allocate temporary storage and move data around.

This function is analogous to the swap function of all C++ standard containers. Also, there is a global function swap(u,v) that simply calls u.swap(v), again in analogy to standard functions.

Definition at line 908 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ operator const Vec &()

PETScWrappers::VectorBase::operator const Vec & ( ) const
inherited

Conversion operator to gain access to the underlying PETSc type. If you do this, you cut this class off some information it may need, so this conversion operator should only be used if you know what you do. In particular, it should only be used for read-only operations into the vector.

Definition at line 916 of file petsc_vector_base.cc.

◆ memory_consumption()

std::size_t PETScWrappers::VectorBase::memory_consumption ( ) const
inherited
