Description
Matrix multiplication is a binary operation that takes a pair of matrices and produces another matrix.
If A is an n×m matrix and B is an m×p matrix, the result AB of their multiplication is an n×p matrix defined only if the number of columns m in A is equal to the number of rows m in B. When multiplying A and B, the elements of the rows in A are multiplied with corresponding columns in B.
In this implementation, A and B are square matrices (same number of rows and columns), and so it is the result matrix C. Each matrix is divided in MSIZE blocks of BSIZE doubles. The multiplication of two blocks is done by a multiply task method with a simple three-nested-loop implementation. When executed with COMPSs, the main program generates N^3^ tasks arranged as N^2^ chains of N tasks in the dependency graph.
The metadata of this example includes detailed resource usage, which can be used from any knowledge extraction framework able to process WRROC RO-Crates.
Execution instructions
Direct usage:
runcompss --lang=python src/matmul_files.py
where:
- MSIZE: Dimension of the number of blocks that form the hypermatrix (i.e. MSIZE x MSIZE).
- BSIZE: Dimension of the number of elements of each of the blocks (i.e. BSIZE x BSIZE).
Execution Examples
runcompss --lang=python src/matmul_files.py 20 300
runcompss src/matmul_files.py 13 900
python -m pycompss src/matmul_files.py 14 800
Alternatively, when running in a cluster, use launch_matmul.sh script (see instructions inside).
