Linear Algebra For Computer Science, M. Thulasidas
Linear Algebra For Computer Science, M. Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This textbook introduces the essential concepts and practice of Linear Algebra to the undergraduate student of computer science. The focus of this book is on the elegance and beauty of the numerical techniques and algorithms originating from Linear Algebra. As a practical handbook for computer and data scientists, LA4CS restricts itself mostly to real fields and tractable discourses, rather than deep and theoretical mathematics.

This book has its origin in my experience teaching Linear Algebra to Computer Science students at Singapore Management University. Traditionally, Linear Algebra is taught as a pure mathematics course, almost as an afterthought, not fully integrated with any other applied curriculum. It certainly was taught that way to me. The course I was teaching, however, had a definite pedagogical objective of bringing out the applicability and the usefulness of Linear Algebra in Computer Science, which is nothing but applied mathematics. In today’s age of machine learning and artificial intelligence, Linear Algebra is the branch of mathematics that holds the most …

Exploiting structures of matrices goes beyond identifying their non-zero patterns. In many cases, dense full-rank matrices have low-rank submatrices that can be exploited to construct fast approximate algorithms. In other cases, dense matrices can be decomposed into Kronecker factors that are much smaller than the original matrix. Sparsity is a consequence of the connectivity of the underlying geometry (mesh, graph, interaction list, etc.), whereas the rank-deficiency of submatrices is closely related to the distance within this underlying geometry. For high dimensional geometry encountered in data science applications, the curse of dimensionality poses a challenge for rank-structured approaches. On the other …

Lecture 14: Randomized Algorithms For Least Squares Problems, Ilse C.F. Ipsen
Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series
The emergence of massive data sets, over the past twenty or so years, has lead to the development of Randomized Numerical Linear Algebra. Randomized matrix algorithms perform random sketching and sampling of rows or columns, in order to reduce the problem dimension or compute low-rank approximations. We review randomized algorithms for the solution of least squares/regression problems, based on row sketching from the left, or column sketching from the right. These algorithms tend to be efficient and accurate on matrices that have many more rows than columns. We present probabilistic bounds for the amount of sampling required to achieve a …
Lecture 13: A Low-Rank Factorization Framework For Building Scalable Algebraic Solvers And Preconditioners, X. Sherry Li
Lecture 13: A Low-Rank Factorization Framework For Building Scalable Algebraic Solvers And Preconditioners, X. Sherry Li
Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series
Factorization based preconditioning algorithms, most notably incomplete LU (ILU) factorization, have been shown to be robust and applicable to wide ranges of problems. However, traditional ILU algorithms are not amenable to scalable implementation. In recent years, we have seen a lot of investigations using low-rank compression techniques to build approximate factorizations.
A key to achieving lower complexity is the use of hierarchical matrix algebra, stemming from the H-matrix research. In addition, the multilevel algorithm paradigm provides a good vehicle for a scalable implementation. The goal of this lecture is to give an overview of the various hierarchical matrix formats, such …
Lecture 03: Hierarchically Low Rank Methods And Applications, David Keyes
Lecture 03: Hierarchically Low Rank Methods And Applications, David Keyes
Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series
As simulation and analytics enter the exascale era, numerical algorithms, particularly implicit solvers that couple vast numbers of degrees of freedom, must span a widening gap between ambitious applications and austere architectures to support them. We present fifteen universals for researchers in scalable solvers: imperatives from computer architecture that scalable solvers must respect, strategies towards achieving them that are currently well established, and additional strategies currently being developed for an effective and efficient exascale software ecosystem. We consider recent generalizations of what it means to “solve” a computational problem, which suggest that we have often been “oversolving” them at the …

Lecture 11: The Road To Exascale And Legacy Software For Dense Linear Algebra, Jack Dongarra
Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series
In this talk, we will look at the current state of high performance computing and look at the next stage of extreme computing. With extreme computing, there will be fundamental changes in the character of floating point arithmetic and data movement. In this talk, we will look at how extreme-scale computing has caused algorithm and software developers to change their way of thinking on implementing and program-specific applications.

Lecture 06: The Impact Of Computer Architectures On The Design Of Algebraic Multigrid Methods, Ulrike Yang
Mathematical Sciences Spring Lecture Series
Algebraic multigrid (AMG) is a popular iterative solver and preconditioner for large sparse linear systems. When designed well, it is algorithmically scalable, enabling it to solve increasingly larger systems efficiently. While it consists of various highly parallel building blocks, the original method also consisted of various highly sequential components. A large amount of research has been performed over several decades to design new components that perform well on high performance computers. As a matter of fact, AMG has shown to scale well to more than a million processes. However, with single-core speeds plateauing, future increases in computing performance need to …
