Lis (linear algebra library)

Lis (Library of Iterative Solvers for linear systems, pronounced [lis]) is a scalable parallel software library for solving discretized linear equations and eigenvalue problems that mainly arise in the numerical solution of partial differential equations by using iterative methods.[1][2][3] Although it is designed for parallel computers, the library can be used without being conscious of parallel processing.

Features

Lis provides facilities for:

Example

A C program to solve the linear equation is written as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "lis_config.h"
#include "lis.h"

LIS_INT main(LIS_INT argc, char* argv[])
{
  LIS_MATRIX  A;
  LIS_VECTOR  b, x;
  LIS_SOLVER  solver;
  LIS_INT     iter;
  double      time;

  lis_initialize(&argc, &argv);

  lis_matrix_create(LIS_COMM_WORLD, &A);
  lis_vector_create(LIS_COMM_WORLD, &b);
  lis_vector_create(LIS_COMM_WORLD, &x);

  lis_input_matrix(A, argv[1]);
  lis_input_vector(b, argv[2]);
  lis_vector_duplicate(A, &x);

  lis_solver_create(&solver);
  lis_solver_set_optionC(solver);
  lis_solve(A, b, x, solver);

  lis_solver_get_iter(solver, &iter);
  lis_solver_get_time(solver, &time);
  printf("number of iterations = %d\n", iter);
  printf("elapsed time = %e\n", time);

  lis_output_vector(x, LIS_FMT_MM, argv[3]);

  lis_solver_destroy(solver);
  lis_matrix_destroy(A);
  lis_vector_destroy(b);
  lis_vector_destroy(x);

  lis_finalize();

  return 0;
}

System requirements

The installation of Lis requires a C compiler. The Fortran interface requires a Fortran compiler, and the algebraic multigrid preconditioner requires a Fortran 90 compiler.[4] For parallel computing environments, an OpenMP or MPI library is required. Both the Matrix Market and Harwell-Boeing formats are supported to import and export user data.
