Exact Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication on GPU's and Multicore Architectures
We propose different implementations of the sparse matrix--dense vector
multiplication (\spmv{}) for finite fields and rings \Zb/m\Zb. We take
advantage of graphic card processors (GPU) and multi-core architectures. Our
aim is to improve the speed of \spmv{} in the \linbox library, and henceforth
the speed of its black box algorithms. Besides, we use this and a new
parallelization of the sigma-basis algorithm in a parallel block Wiedemann rank
implementation over finite fields
Parallel Integer Polynomial Multiplication
We propose a new algorithm for multiplying dense polynomials with integer
coefficients in a parallel fashion, targeting multi-core processor
architectures. Complexity estimates and experimental comparisons demonstrate
the advantages of this new approach
Generic design of Chinese remaindering schemes
We propose a generic design for Chinese remainder algorithms. A Chinese
remainder computation consists in reconstructing an integer value from its
residues modulo non coprime integers. We also propose an efficient linear data
structure, a radix ladder, for the intermediate storage and computations. Our
design is structured into three main modules: a black box residue computation
in charge of computing each residue; a Chinese remaindering controller in
charge of launching the computation and of the termination decision; an integer
builder in charge of the reconstruction computation. We then show that this
design enables many different forms of Chinese remaindering (e.g.
deterministic, early terminated, distributed, etc.), easy comparisons between
these forms and e.g. user-transparent parallelism at different parallel grains
Highly Scalable Multiplication for Distributed Sparse Multivariate Polynomials on Many-core Systems
We present a highly scalable algorithm for multiplying sparse multivariate
polynomials represented in a distributed format. This algo- rithm targets not
only the shared memory multicore computers, but also computers clusters or
specialized hardware attached to a host computer, such as graphics processing
units or many-core coprocessors. The scal- ability on the large number of cores
is ensured by the lacks of synchro- nizations, locks and false-sharing during
the main parallel step.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
Resolution of Linear Algebra for the Discrete Logarithm Problem Using GPU and Multi-core Architectures
In cryptanalysis, solving the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) is key to
assessing the security of many public-key cryptosystems. The index-calculus
methods, that attack the DLP in multiplicative subgroups of finite fields,
require solving large sparse systems of linear equations modulo large primes.
This article deals with how we can run this computation on GPU- and
multi-core-based clusters, featuring InfiniBand networking. More specifically,
we present the sparse linear algebra algorithms that are proposed in the
literature, in particular the block Wiedemann algorithm. We discuss the
parallelization of the central matrix--vector product operation from both
algorithmic and practical points of view, and illustrate how our approach has
contributed to the recent record-sized DLP computation in GF().Comment: Euro-Par 2014 Parallel Processing, Aug 2014, Porto, Portugal.
