Yeah, I ran my program again using -mat_view::ascii_info and set MKL_VERBOSE to be 1, then I noticed the outputs suggested that the matrix to be seqaijmkl type (I’ve attached a few as below)
--> Setting up matrix-vector products...
Mat Object: 1 MPI process
type: seqaijmkl
rows=16490, cols=35937
total: nonzeros=128496, allocated nonzeros=128496
total number of mallocs used during MatSetValues calls=0

================================================
Iterative solve completed in 7435 ms.
CONVERGED: rtol.
Iterations: 72
Final relative residual norm: 9.22287e-07
================================================
[CPU TIME] System solution: 2.27160000e+02 s.
[WALL TIME] System solution: 7.44387218e+00 s.
However, it seems to me that there were still no MKL outputs even I set MKL_VERBOSE to be 1. Although, I think it should be many spmv operations when doing KSPSolve(). Do you see the possible reasons?
Thanks,

Yes, for petsc example, there are MKL outputs, but for my own program. All I did is to change the matrix type from MATAIJ to MATAIJMKL to get optimized performance for spmv from MKL. Should I expect to see any MKL outputs in this case?
Are you sure that the type changed? You can MatView() the matrix with format ascii_info to see.
Thanks,
Matt

No, you don't. It is strange. Perhaps you can you run a petsc example first and see if MKL is really used
$ cd src/mat/tests
$ make ex1

Hello all,
I set MKL_VERBOSE = 1, but observed no print output specific to the use of MKL. Does PETSc enable this verbose output?
Best,

I remember there are some MKL env vars to print MKL routines called.
The environment variable is MKL_VERBOSE
Thanks,
Pierre
Maybe we can try it to see what MKL routines are really used and then we can understand why some petsc functions did not speed up

Hi Barry, sorry for my last results. I didn’t fully understand the stage profiling and logging in PETSc, now I only record KSPSolve() stage of my program. Some sample codes are as follow,
// Static variable to keep track of the stage counter
static int stageCounter = 1;
// Generate a unique stage name
std::ostringstream oss;
oss << "Stage " << stageCounter << " of Code";
std::string stageName = oss.str();
// Register the stage
PetscLogStage stagenum;
PetscLogStageRegister(stageName.c_str(), &stagenum);
PetscLogStagePush(stagenum);
KSPSolve(*ksp_ptr, b, x);
PetscLogStagePop();
stageCounter++;
I have attached my new logging results, there are 1 main stage and 4 other stages where each one is KSPSolve() call.
To provide some additional backgrounds, if you recall, I have been trying to get efficient iterative solution using multithreading. I found out by compiling PETSc with Intel MKL library instead of OpenBLAS, I am able to perform sparse matrix-vector multiplication faster, I am using MATSEQAIJMKL. This makes the shell matrix vector product in each iteration scale well with the #of threads. However, I found out the total GMERS solve time (~KSPSolve() time) is not scaling well the #of threads.
>From the logging results I learned that when performing KSPSolve(), there are some CPU overheads in PCApply() and KSPGMERSOrthog(). I ran my programs using different number of threads and plotted the time consumption for PCApply() and KSPGMERSOrthog() against #of thread. I found out these two operations are not scaling with the threads at all! My results are attached as the pdf to give you a clear view.
My questions is,
>From my understanding, in PCApply, MatSolve() is involved, KSPGMERSOrthog() will have many vector operations, so why these two parts can’t scale well with the # of threads when the intel MKL library is linked?
Thank you,
Yongzhong

Are you making calls to all these routines? Are you doing this inside your MatMult() or before you call KSPSolve?
The reason I wanted you to make a simpler run without the initial guess code is that your events are far more complicated than would be produced by GMRES alone so it is not possible to understand the behavior you are seeing without fully understanding all the events happening in the code.

Thanks, I have attached the results without using any KSPGuess. At low frequency, the iteration steps are quite close to the one with KSPGuess, specifically
KSPGuess Object: 1 MPI process
type: fischer
Model 1, size 200
However, I found at higher frequency, the # of iteration steps are significant higher than the one with KSPGuess, I have attahced both of the results for your reference.
Moreover, could I ask why the one without the KSPGuess options can be used for a baseline comparsion? What are we comparing here? How does it relate to the performance issue/bottleneck I found? “I have noticed that the time taken by KSPSolve is almost two times greater than the CPU time for matrix-vector product multiplied by the number of iteration”
Thank you!

Can you please run the same thing without the KSPGuess option(s) for a baseline comparison?
Thanks

Hi Matt,
I have rerun the program with the keys you provided. The system output when performing ksp solve and the final petsc log output were stored in a .txt file attached for your reference.
Thanks!

Dear PETSc’s developers,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am currently working on a project using PETSc and have encountered a performance issue with the KSPSolve function. Specifically, I have noticed that the time taken by KSPSolve is almost two times greater than the CPU time for matrix-vector product multiplied by the number of iteration steps. I use C++ chrono to record CPU time.
For context, I am using a shell system matrix A. Despite my efforts to parallelize the matrix-vector product (Ax), the overall solve time remains higher than the matrix vector product per iteration indicates when multiple threads were used. Here are a few details of my setup:
* Matrix Type: Shell system matrix
* Preconditioner: Shell PC
* Parallel Environment: Using Intel MKL as PETSc’s BLAS/LAPACK library, multithreading is enabled
I have considered several potential reasons, such as preconditioner setup, additional solver operations, and the inherent overhead of using a shell system matrix. However, since KSPSolve is a high-level API, I have been unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the increased solve time.
Have you observed the same issue? Could you please provide some experience on how to diagnose and address this performance discrepancy? Any insights or recommendations you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
For any performance question like this, we need to see the output of your code run with
-ksp_view -ksp_monitor_true_residual -ksp_converged_reason -log_view
Thanks,
Matt
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Yongzhong
