[ViennaCL-devel] Test matrices for iterative solvers and preconditioners

2014-08-04 Thread Toby St Clere Smithe
Hi all, Is there a set of test matrices I could / should use for testing the iterative solvers and preconditioners? Clearly, the matrices should satisfy the conditions required of the algorithms; I've tried to find matrices on MatrixMarket, but there are far fewer results than I was expecting,

Hi Karli, Karl Rupp r...@iue.tuwien.ac.at writes: I suggest to use the same strategy as for the GUI, i.e. use an internal on-the-fly generation of symmetric, positive definite matrices. They can be used with all the relevant algorithms for testing purposes. The on-the-fly generator will be

Hi Toby (and Namik), finally the on-the-fly matrix generation is pushed: https://github.com/viennacl/viennacl-dev/commit/7237e71f5b8b45f1403331cbed6cd1e49fa7b7d3 calling generate_fdm_laplace(A, points_x, points_y) fills the matrix A (can be a ublas::compressed_matrix (slow) or a ViennaCL
