Before you have a space-dependent SIR model, it does not make much sense to use DM and even consider parallelizing your code.

Hi,
The plan is actually to move to a SIR model also with the space.
I understand that doing a SIR model in parallel will not bring any benefits, but I have been asked to do it as part of a project I am involved in.
I defined the DM as follows
ierr = DMDACreate1d(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,DM_BOUNDARY_NONE,3,3,3,NULL,&da);CHKERRQ(ierr);
The size of DMDA is usually associated with the size of your computational domain, e.g. number of nodes in space. In your case, you have 3 degrees of freedom on each node, but you have only one node since the model has not been extended to the space yet.
Hong (Mr.)
I am not sure whether I correctly understood this command properly. The vector should have 3 components (S, I, R) and 3 DOF as it is defined only when the three coordinates have been set.
Then I create a global vector X. When I set the initial conditions as below
static PetscErrorCode InitialConditions(TS ts,Vec X, void *ctx)
{
PetscErrorCode ierr;
AppCtx *appctx = (AppCtx*) ctx;
PetscScalar *x;
DM da;
PetscFunctionBeginUser;
ierr = TSGetDM(ts,&da);CHKERRQ(ierr);
/* Get pointers to vector data */
ierr = DMDAVecGetArray(da,X,(void*)&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
x[0] = appctx->N - appctx->p[2];
x[1] = appctx->p[2];
x[2] = 0.0;
ierr = DMDAVecRestoreArray(da,X,(void*)&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
PetscFunctionReturn(0);
}
I have the error:
[0]PETSC ERROR: Invalid argument
[0]PETSC ERROR: Wrong subtype object:Parameter # 1 must have implementation da it is shell
[0]PETSC ERROR: See https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/documentation/faq.html for trouble shooting.

I would be very happy to receive any advices to fix the code.

Thank you for the advices, I would just like to convert the code I already have to see what might happen once parallelized.
Do you think it is better to put the 3 equations into a 1d Distributed Array with 3 dofs and run the job with multiple procs regardless of how many equations I have? Is it possible?
If you plan in the end to use a structured grid, this is a great plan. If not, this is not a good plan.
Thanks,
Matt

It does not make sense to parallelize to 1 equation per process, unless that single equation per process is super super super costly.
Is this work you are doing used to understand PETSc parallelization strategy? if so, there are multiple examples in the sourcetree that you can look at to populate matrices and vectors in parallel

In principle the entire code was for 1 proc only. The functions were built with VecGetArray(). While adapting the code for multiple procs I thought using VecGetOwnershipRange was a possible way to allocate the equations in the vector using multiple procs. What do you think, please?
Thank you,

I was trying to follow Barry's advice some time ago, but I guess that's not the way he meant it. How should I refer to the values contained in x? With Distributed Arrays?
That is how you get values from x. However, I cannot understand at all what you are doing with "mybase".

Thanks

Even though it will not scale and will deliver slower performance it is completely possible for you to solve the 3 variable problem using 3 MPI ranks. Or 10 mpi ranks. You would just create vectors/matrices with 1 degree of freedom for the first three ranks and no degrees of freedom for the later ranks. During your function evaluation (and Jacobian evaluation) for TS you will need to set up the appropriate communication to get the values you need on each rank to evaluate the parts of the function evaluation needed by that rank. This is true for parallelizing any computation.

Hi!
I tried to implement the SIR model taking into account the fact that I will only use 3 MPI ranks at this moment.
I built vectors and matrices following the examples already available. In particular, I defined the functions required similarly (RHSFunction, IFunction, IJacobian), as follows:
I don't think this makes sense. You use "mybase" to distinguish between 3 procs, which would indicate that each procs has only
1 degree of freedom. However, you use x[1] on each proc, indicating it has at least 2 dofs.
Thanks,
Matt
static PetscErrorCode RHSFunction(TS ts,PetscReal t,Vec X,Vec F,void *ctx)
{
PetscErrorCode ierr;
AppCtx *appctx = (AppCtx*) ctx;
PetscScalar f;//, *x_localptr;
const PetscScalar *x;
PetscInt mybase;
PetscFunctionBeginUser;
ierr = VecGetOwnershipRange(X,&mybase,NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = VecGetArrayRead(X,&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
if (mybase == 0) {
f = (PetscScalar) (-appctx->p1*x[0]*x[1]/appctx->N);
ierr = VecSetValues(F,1,&mybase,&f,INSERT_VALUES);
}
if (mybase == 1) {
f = (PetscScalar) (appctx->p1*x[0]*x[1]/appctx->N-appctx->p2*x[1]);
ierr = VecSetValues(F,1,&mybase,&f,INSERT_VALUES);
}
if (mybase == 2) {
f = (PetscScalar) (appctx->p2*x[1]);
ierr = VecSetValues(F,1,&mybase,&f,INSERT_VALUES);
}
ierr = VecRestoreArrayRead(X,&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = VecAssemblyBegin(F);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = VecAssemblyEnd(F);CHKERRQ(ierr);
PetscFunctionReturn(0);
}
Whilst for the Jacobian I did:
static PetscErrorCode IJacobian(TS ts,PetscReal t,Vec X,Vec Xdot,PetscReal a,Mat A,Mat B,void *ctx)
{
PetscErrorCode ierr;
AppCtx *appctx = (AppCtx*) ctx;
PetscInt mybase, rowcol[] = {0,1,2};
const PetscScalar *x;
PetscFunctionBeginUser;
ierr = MatGetOwnershipRange(B,&mybase,NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = VecGetArrayRead(X,&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
if (mybase == 0) {
const PetscScalar J[] = {a + appctx->p1*x[1]/appctx->N, appctx->p1*x[0]/appctx->N, 0};
ierr = MatSetValues(B,1,&mybase,3,rowcol,J,INSERT_VALUES);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
if (mybase == 1) {
const PetscScalar J[] = {- appctx->p1*x[1]/appctx->N, a - appctx->p1*x[0]/appctx->N + appctx->p2, 0};
ierr = MatSetValues(B,1,&mybase,3,rowcol,J,INSERT_VALUES);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
if (mybase == 2) {
const PetscScalar J[] = {0, - appctx->p2, a};
ierr = MatSetValues(B,1,&mybase,3,rowcol,J,INSERT_VALUES);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
ierr = VecRestoreArrayRead(X,&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyBegin(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyEnd(A,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
if (A != B) {
ierr = MatAssemblyBegin(B,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyEnd(B,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
}
PetscFunctionReturn(0);
}
This code does not provide the correct result, that is, the solution is the initial condition, either using implicit or explicit methods. Is the way I defined these objects wrong? How can I fix it?
I also tried to print the Jacobian with the following commands but it does not work (blank rows and error message). How should I print the Jacobian?
ierr = TSGetIJacobian(ts,NULL,&K, NULL, NULL); CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyBegin(K,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatAssemblyEnd(K,MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY);CHKERRQ(ierr);
ierr = MatView(K,PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD);CHKERRQ(ierr);
I would very much appreciate any kind of help or advice.
Best,
Francesco

Hi everyone!
I am trying to solve a system of 3 ODEs (a basic SIR model) with TS. Sequentially works pretty well, but I need to switch it into a parallel version.
I started working with TS not very long time ago, there are few questions I’d like to share with you and if you have any advices I’d be happy to hear.
First of all, do I need to use a DM object even if the model is only time dependent? All the examples I found were using that object for the other variable when solving PDEs.
Are you considering SIR on a spatial domain? If so, you can parallelize your model in the spatial domain using DM. Splitting the three variables in the ODE among processors would not scale.
Even though it will not scale and will deliver slower performance it is completely possible for you to solve the 3 variable problem using 3 MPI ranks. Or 10 mpi ranks. You would just create vectors/matrices with 1 degree of freedom for the first three ranks and no degrees of freedom for the later ranks.

Hong (Mr.)
When I preallocate the space for the Jacobian matrix, is it better to decide the local or global space?
Best,
Francesco
