Abstract
The Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV) is fundamental to a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering applications, such as many iterative numerical methods. The widely used Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) sparse matrix storage format was chosen to carry on this study for sustainability and reusability reasons.
We parallelized for Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture a vectorized SpMV kernel using MPI and OpenMP, both pure and hybrid versions of them. In comparison to pure models and vendor-supplied BLAS libraries across different mainstream architectures (CPU, GPU), the hybrid model exhibits a substantial improvement.
To further assess the behavior of hybrid model, we attribute the inadequacy of performances to vectorization rate, irregularity of non-zeros, and load balancing issue. A mathematical relationship between the first two factors and the performance is then proposed based on the experimental data.
