\section{Linear Algebra Routines}
\label{sec:la}
The linear algebra routines in NWChem provide standard functions for
simple operations and transformations, and iterative operations.
These routines all operate with global arrays, and have names
prefaced with \verb+ga_+. (Note that this does {\em not} mean they
are part of the GA library, however.) Some of these routines
reference other NWChem objects, such as geometries or basis sets,
and all are collective. That is, all processes must invoke them
at the same time, otherwise deadlock or a fatal error will result.
\subsection{Simple linear operations}
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_get\_diag}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_get_diagonal(g_a, diags)
integer g_a ! [input] GA handle
double precision diags(*) ! [output] diagonals
\end{verbatim}
Extracts the diagonal elements of the square (real) global array in a
'scalable' fashion, broadcasting the result to everyone. The local
array (\verb+diags+) must be large enough to hold the result. The
only communication (apart from synchronization to avoid a race
condition) is a global sum of length the diagonal.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_maxelt}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_maxelt(g_a, value)
integer g_a ! [input] GA handle
double precision value ! [output] abs max value
\end{verbatim}
Returns the absolute value of the element with largest absolute
magnitude. The only communication is (apart from synchronization to
avoid a race condition) is a global maximum of unit length.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_ran\_fill}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_ran_fill(g_a, ilo, ihi, jlo, jhi)
integer g_a ! [input] GA handle
integer ilo, ihi, jlo, jhi ! [input] patch specification
\end{verbatim}
Fills a patch of a global array (\verb+a(ilo:ihi,jlo:jhi)+) with
random numbers uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. The only
communication is necessary synchronization.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_screen}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_screen(g_a, value)
integer g_a ! [input] GA handle
double precision value ! [input] Threshold
\end{verbatim}
Set all elements whose absolute value is less than {\tt value} to a
hard zero. The only communication is necessary synchronization.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_mat2col} and {\tt ga\_col2mat}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_mat2col( g_a, ailo, aihi, ajlo, ajhi,
& g_b, bilo, bihi, bjlo, bjhi)
integer g_a
integer g_b
integer ailo, aihi, ajlo, ajhi
integer bilo, bihi, bjlo, bjhi
subroutine ga_col2mat( g_a, ailo, aihi, ajlo, ajhi,
& g_b, bilo, bihi, bjlo, bjhi)
integer g_a
integer g_b
integer ailo, aihi, ajlo, ajhi
integer bilo, bihi, bjlo, bjhi
\end{verbatim}
Obsolete routines to copy patches with reshaping. Use \verb+ga_copy_patch+
instead.
\subsection{Linear algebra and transformations}
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_mix}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_mix(g_a, n, nvec, b, ld)
integer g_a [input]
integer n, nvec, ld [input]
double precision b(ld,nvec) [input]
\end{verbatim}
This routine is set up to optimize the rotation of a (small) set of
vectors among themselves. The matrix ($A(n,n_{vec})$) referenced by
GA handle \verb+g_a+ must be distributed by columns so that an entire
row is present on a processor --- a fatal error results if this is not
the case. The matrix {\tt b} must be replicated. With these
conditions no communication is necessary, other than that required for
synchronizations to avoid race conditions. The routine performs the
following operation
\begin{displaymath}
A_{ij} \Leftarrow \sum_{l=1,n_{vec}} A_{il} B_{lj}, i=1,n; j=1,n_{vec}
\end{displaymath}
which can be regarded as a multiplication of two matrices, one global
and the other local, with the result overwriting the input global
matrix.
It would be easy to make this routine use more general distributions
but still leave the optimized code for columnwise distribution.
\subsubsection{{\tt two\_index\_transf}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine two_index_transf( g_a, g_lhs, g_rhs, g_tmp, g_b )
integer g_a ! [input] Handle to initial GA
integer g_lhs, g_rhs ! [input] Handles to transformation
integer g_tmp ! [input] Handle to scratch GA
integer g_b ! [input] Handle to output GA
\end{verbatim}
Two-index square matrix transform --- $B = U_{LHS}^T A U_{RHS}$. Done
using calls to \verb+ga_dgemm+. The scratch array must be a square
array of the same dimension as all the other arrays. It would be easy
(and very useful) to generalize this to handle non-square transformations.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_matpow}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_matpow(g_v, pow, mineval)
integer g_v ! [input/output] Handle to GA
double precision pow ! [input] Exponent
double precision mineval ! [input] Threshold for evals
\end{verbatim}
The square matrix referenced by \verb+g_v+ is raised to the power
\verb+pow+ by diagonalizing it, discarding (if \verb+pow+ is les than
zero) eigenvectors whose eigenvalue is smaller than \verb+mineval+,
raising the diagonal matrix to the required power, and transforming
back. The only allowed values for \verb+pow+ are 1, -1,
$\frac{1}{2}$, and $\frac{-1}{2}$, though it would be easy to
generalize the routine to handle any value.
The input GA is overwritten with the exponentiated result. It is {\em
not} guaranteed that the same handle will be returned -- if it is most
efficient, the original GA may be destroyed and a new GA created to
hold the result.
Uses a GA the size of V and a local array the size of the number
of rows of V. The eigensolver requires additional memory.
Due to the use of a generalized eigensolver, an additional GA the size
of V is also used.
\subsubsection{{\tt mk\_fit\_xf}}
\begin{verbatim}
logical function mk_fit_xf(approx, split, basis, mineval, g_v)
character*(*) approx, split [input]
integer basis [input]
integer g_v [output]
double precision mineval [input]
\end{verbatim}
Returns in \verb+g_v+ a newly allocated global array containing the
appropriate fitting matrix for the specified
resolution-of-the-identity (RI) approximation.
Arguments:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+approx+ --- RI approximation used (SVS, S, or V)
\item \verb+split+ --- Whether or not to return the square root of the matrix
so that it can be used to transform both sets of 3c ints.
(Y or N).
\item \verb+basis+ --- Handle to fitting basis
\item \verb+mineval+ --- Minimum eigenvalue of V matrix to be retained in
the inversion
\item \verb+g_v+ --- Returns new global array handle to the $V^{-1/2}$ matrix
\end{itemize}
Return value:
\begin{itemize}
\item \TRUE\ if successful, even if some eigenvalues fell below \verb+mineval+.
\item \FALSE\ if errors occured in dynamic memory (MA or GA) operations,
inquiries about the basis, or in obtaining the required integrals.
Note: the integral package must be initialized before calling this routine.
Memory use:
\item Creates and returns a global array (\verb+g_v+) the size of
\verb+bas_numbf(basis)+$^2$.
\item Additional temporary usage consists of the largest of:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Integral requirements, reported by \verb+int_mem_2e2c+.
\item \verb+bas_numbf(basis)+$^2$ + \verb+bas_numbf(basis)+ and whatever additional
space is required by \verb+ga_diag_std+.
\item 2 * \verb+bas_numbf(basis)+$^2$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{{ga\_orthog}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_orthog(g_vecs, g_over, ometric)
integer g_vecs ! [input] Vectors to be orthonormalized
integer g_over ! [input] Optional metric/overlap matrix
logical ometric ! [input] If .true. use metric matrix
\end{verbatim}
The columns of the GA referenced by the handle \verb+g_vecs+ are
assumed to be vectors that must be orthonormalized. If \verb+ometric+
is specified as \FALSE\ then the standard inner product is used.
Otherwise the \verb+g_over+ is assumed to refer to the metric (or
overlap). Internally, MA is used to allocate a copy of the matrix
(and the metric) in a specific distribution. If insufficient memory
is available or the matrix is singular a fatal error results.
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_orthog\_vec}}
\begin{verbatim}
subroutine ga_orthog_vec(n, nvec, g_m, g_x, j)
integer n ! vector length
integer nvec ! no. of vectors
integer g_m ! GA handle for matrix
integer g_x ! GA handle for vector
integer j ! Column for vector
\end{verbatim}
Orthogonalize the vector \verb+x(1:n,j)+ to the vectors
\verb+g(1:n,1:nvec)+. Note that x is {\em not} normalized. This routine
is/was used by some of the iterative equation solvers.
\subsection{Iterative linear algebra operations}
\subsubsection{{\tt ga\_iter\_diag}}
\begin{verbatim}
logical function ga_iter_diag(n, nroot, maxiter, maxsub, tol,
& precond, product, oprint, eval0, g_evec, eval, rnorm, iter)
integer n ! Matrix dimension
integer nroot ! No. of eigen vectors sought
integer maxiter ! Max. no. of iterations
integer maxsub ! Max. dimension of iterative subspace
double precision tol ! Required norm of residual
external precond ! Preconditioner
external product ! Matrix-vector product
logical oprint ! Control printing to unit 6
double precision eval0 ! Estimate of lowest eval
integer g_evec ! n by nroot GA for guess and final
double precision eval(nroot) ! Returns eigen values
double precision rnorm(nroot) ! Returns residual norms
integer iter ! Returns no. of iterations used
\end{verbatim}
Solve the eigenvalue equation ${\bf A}x = \lambda x$ with the
vectors $x$ in GA and a routine (product) to form a matrix vector
product to a required precision. Return \TRUE\ if converged, \FALSE
otherwise. The function \verb+rnorm+ returns the actual attained precision for each root.
The block-Davidson-like algorithm solves for the best solution for
each eigenvector in the iterative subspace ($x_i, i = 1, k$) with
\begin{displaymath}
{\bf A} y = {\bf S}y\lambda, \mbox{where} A_{ij} = x_i^{\dagger} A x_j,
\mbox{and} S_{ij} = x_i^{\dagger} x_j
\end{displaymath}
%%% {\em NB:} The matrix vector products ${\bf A}x_i$ are performed by the user
% NB == nota bene -- due to the sad decline in classical learning among the
% educated elite, this has been changed to simply 'Note'
{\em Note:} The matrix vector products ${\bf A}x_i$ are performed by the user-
provided routine \verb+product()+ to a precision specified by this routine
(currently products are performed one at a time, but it is easy to
improve the routine to perform many in one call).
The best solution within the iterative subspace is then
\begin{displaymath}
x = \sum_i y_i x_i
\end{displaymath}
New expansion vectors are added by multiplying the residual
\begin{displaymath}
r = ({\bf A} - s {\bf I}) x, \mbox{ where } s \mbox{ is the shift},
\end{displaymath}
with some approximation ($P$) to the inverse of ${\bf A}-s{\bf I}$.
This preconditioning is performed by the user-provided routine
\verb+precond()+. If \verb+eval0+ is a hard zero then the shift ($s$) is
chosen as the current estimate for the eigenvalue that the next update
strives to improve. Otherwise the shift is fixed as \verb+eval0+
which is appropriate for convergence to a known energy spectrum from
some poor initial guess.
The program cyles through the lowest \verb+nroot+ roots, updating each that
does not yet satisfy the convergence criterion, which is
\begin{displaymath}
{\tt rnorm(root)} = ||r|| < {\tt tol}
\end{displaymath}
On input the global array \verb+g_evec(n,nroot)+ should contain either an
initial guess at the eigen vectors or zeroes. If any vector is zero
then random numbers are used.
The use must proivde these routines:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb+subroutine product(precision, g_x, g_ax)+ ---
computes the product ${\bf A}x$ to the specified precision (absolute
magnitude error in any element of the product) returning the result
in the GA \verb+g_ax+.
\item \verb+subroutine precond(g_r, shift)+ ---
Apply an approximation ($P$) to the inverse of ${\bf A} - s {\bf
I}$ to the vector in \verb+g_r+ overwriting \verb+g_r+ with the result.
\end{itemize}
If the initial guess is zero no redundant matrix product is formed.
Temporary global arrays of dimension \verb+n*maxsub+
and \verb+n+ are created.
