[petsc-users] hypre on gpus

[Karthikeyan Chockalingam - STFC UKRI]

Thanks Mark, I will try your recommendations.
Should I also change -dm_vec_type to hypre currently I have it as mpicuda?

Karthik.

Hypre does not record its flops with PETSc's timers.
Configure with and without CUDA and see if the timings change in PCApply.
Hypre does not dynamically switch between CUDA and CPU solves at this time, but you want to use -dm_mat_type hypre.

Hello,

I am trying to run ex45 (in KSP tutorial) using hypre on gpus. I have attached the python configuration file and -log_view output from running the below command options

mpirun -n 2 ./ex45 -log_view -da_grid_x 169 -da_grid_y 169 -da_grid_z 169  -dm_mat_type mpiaijcusparse -dm_vec_type mpicuda -ksp_type gmres -pc_type hypre -pc_hypre_type  boomeramg -ksp_gmres_restart 31 -pc_hypre_boomeramg_strong_threshold 0.7  -ksp_monitor

The problem was solved and converged but from the output file I suspect hypre is not running on gpus as PCApply and DMCreate does not record any gpu Mflop/s. However, some events such KSPSolve, MatMult etc are running on gpus.

Can you please let me know if I need to add any extra flag to the attached arch-ci-linux-cuda11-double-xx.py script file to get hypre working on gpus?

Thanks,
Karthik.
