Hi, since two days I am fighting with X10 to formulate a simple matrix vector multiply. Apparently I am thinking in the wrong direction. Perhaps someone can correct me here.
My essential idea is the following. def ClassicMatrixMultiply() { finish ateach (p in v2.dist() ) { [... some code...] v2(p) = ((A|d)*linev).reduce(double.+,0); } finish v = (v2 as Array[double](v.dist()) ); } Here - A is a distributed Array[double], a square matrix of size n*n, - v an Array[double] of rank 1, (v.size == n), placed at Places.FIRST_PLACE, - v2 an Array[double] of rank 1, distributed the same way as any column of A. - all are var (not val or const). In clear text the line v2(p) should read "multiply the row of A that corresponds to p with v. To make that happen, I tried to set up a distribution that describes the "row of A that corresponds to p". My following attempt looks very clumsy and the X10 compiler doesn't compile it either. (The following lines go into [... some code...] above). val j:Int = (p.coords())(0); val r:Region = ( ([j..j] as Region(1)) * A.region.projection(1)); val d:Dist = A.dist().intersection(r); val linev = (v as Array[double](d)); The compiler hick-ups on the expression A.dist().intersection(r). I frankly don't understand, why. Both, A.dist() and r are having the same rank. Shouldn't that suffice ? Any one any explanation ? I would expect that there is a better way to do this. So I am happy with any suggestions. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Dr. Christoph Pospiech High Performance & Parallel Computing Phone: +49-351 86269826 Mobile: +49-171-765 5871 E-Mail: christoph.pospi...@de.ibm.com ------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Erich Clementi Geschäftsführung: Martin Jetter (Vorsitzender), Reinhard Reschke, Christoph Grandpierre, Klaus Lintelmann, Michael Diemer, Martina Koederitz Sitz der Gesellschaft: Ehningen / Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 14562 WEEE-Reg.-Nr.
