Description (last modified by )
M4RIE is a library for linear algebra over small extension of GF(2). It is still in an early stage but already offers performance comparable to Magma for many inputs and is more than 1000 times faster than what we have in Sage right now.
Upstream: http://bitbucket.org/malb/m4rie/
Sage Days 24 coding sprint: http://wiki.sagemath.org/days24/projects/gf2e
- Install http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/malb/spkgs/libm4rie-20111004.spkg
- Apply m4rie_for_sage.patch
- Apply m4rie_spkg.patch to Sage root repository
There was a vote on sage-devel, recommending to add this as a standard spkg.

The package compiles on t2. sage-check fails because libstdc++ cannot be found (I believe this is due to a problem in the old Sage I have on t2). I cannot apply my patch against this old version of Sage either.

comment:11 Changed 12 years ago by
It's not passing the tests properly on 64-bit OpenSolaris, and I doubt anywhere where SAGE64 needs to be set to yes. The -m64 flag is not getting passed when running the tests, so whilst it builds a 64-bit library, it looks like it tries to create 32-bit objects and link to that 64-bit library.
I have not investigated this in any detail, but they were my initial observations. I would try building on 't2' with SAGE64 set to yes. Not all of Sage will build 64-bit without some hacks, but it should be fairly easy to get enough of Sage built to build this library.

It passed all self-tests on 64-bit OpenSolaris (x64) and 64-bit Solaris 10 (SPARC). Since neither platform has a stable version of Sage yet, running the doctests is pointless.
A few questions:
- Has there been an agreement to add this library? If so, can you provide a link to it.
- Why is it not in another package, rather than added to the libm4ri package?
- Do the self tests pass on Linux?
- Do the doctests pass on Linux?
- Do the self-tests pass on 32-bit SPARC? (Note my point above about there being a 4.5.1 in /usr/local on t2)
- Do the doc tests pass on 32-bit SPARC?
- Do the self-tests pass on OS X?
- Do the doctests pass on OS X?

No decision on [sage-devel] has happened yet. However, the Sage developers here at Sage Days 24 seem to be in favour of adding it.
- Why is it not in another package, rather than added to the libm4ri package?
It makes maintaining the thing easier for all sides: I'm the maintainer of both libraries for both upstream and the SPKGs. It isn't even decided yet whether the two libraries might get merged in the future. Finally, William asked me to not add a new SPKG but to add the M4RIe extension to the M4RI package.

Yes.

Yes.
- Do the self-tests pass on 32-bit SPARC? (Note my point above about there being a 4.5.1 in /usr/local on t2)
Note my point above about not being able to use it.
- Do the doc tests pass on 32-bit SPARC?
No clue.

Yes.

If the packages does get positive review, there should be a note to the release manager(s) not to merge it until there has been an agreement. Though in this case, it looks like getting a vote seems a formality.

One obvious disadvantage of that approach is that since one library relies on the other, the first could be built in parallel with some other packages. That could potentially slow parallel builds.

Yes.

Yes.

Your point above says that's probably because you have an old version.
But I said above, there is the latest version on there - (/usr/local/sage-4.5.1-Solaris_10_SPARC-sun4u-SunOS.tar.gz
is a pre-built copy of the latest version of Sage on 't2'). If that does not work, let me know - I'd be very surprised if it does not. Otherwise, you could just build Sage from source.
- Do the doc tests pass on 32-bit SPARC?
No clue.
See point above.

Why is there be a libstdc++ in the Sage tarball ?
The reason it is there is that the version of gcc shipped with Solaris is 3.4.3, so there are no recent gcc libraries. The compiler is not built with Fortran support, so there is no libgfortran at all. One needs recent run-time libraries, with fortran support, so I added them to the Sage binary.
It may be that deleting (making a copy first) of those .la files will solve the problem. Otherwise, editing them to point at the location of the libraries in $SAGE_LOCAL/lib will almost certainly solve it.
If that does not work, just build Sage from source. It does not take too long if you build packages in parallel.

It appears to be trying to use autoconf, but autoconf is not a perquisite for Sage. Are you sure the timestamps on all the files are right?

I replaced the SPKG with a version where I touched both configure scripts again (I thought I did that before, but apparently I didn't). I tested it on t2 and it doesn't attempt to call autoconf.

comment:25 Changed 12 years ago by
Since there doesn't seem to be any movement on this ticket, I took the liberty to update the patch and to prepare a new SPKG:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/malb/spkgs/libm4ri-20100817.spkg
Just as before this ticket depends on #9717 which was merged in 4.5.3.alpha1.
I successfully built and doctested the SPKG + the patch on:
- sage.math: 64-bit Linux, Intel CPU, pass
- redhawk: 64-bit Linux, AMD CPU, pass
- bsd: OS X, pass
- t2: Solaris, pass (I failed to build R thus those doctests failed)
I also took a sage-4.5.3.alpha1.tar, replaced the M4RI SPKG and applied the patch. Then I built Sage from scratch on sage.math and ran make ptestlong. All doctests passed.
PS: This new SPKG runs some tests to detect the L1 and L2 cache sizes, thus it compiles a little bit longer than older SPKGs for M4RI. The gained performance is well worth the wait on e.g. modern Intel CPUs where it is better to detect how much memory is fast for random access than to rely on the actual L2 cache size.

Whatever checks are being used to determine the cache size is not working very well. First it reports the L1 cache size is 0, then it spends a couple of minutes on a 3.33 GHz Xeon, to determine the cache size (I thought it had hanged). It's also producing some NaN in the calculation of the cache size - is that not a bug?
The CPU is an Intel Xeon W3580 and the operating system OpenSolaris.

Replying to drkirkby:
Whatever checks are being used to determine the cache size is not working very well.
I disagree, it works fine as far as I know but it is slow. For your machine I'd assume that 65536:8388608 indeed gives pretty good performance. If you want to check whether this hunch is correct let me know and I can tell you how to patch and test M4RI for various cache size configurations.
First it reports the L1 cache size is 0,
That's probably because I don't know how to ask Solaris for the right information, however the tuning performed now is the better strategy anyway.
then it spends a couple of minutes on a 3.33 GHz Xeon, to determine the cache size (I thought it had hanged).
Tuning takes a while as described above. Some shells don't seem to print intermediate outputs, I don't know how to fix that. If you do, let me know. Also, I couldn't get reliable information if I lowered the time spent on tuning, if you have any ideas, let me know.
It's also producing some NaN in the calculation of the cache size - is that not a bug?
No, the delta from the first element with respect to the previous element is not defined.

On PPC OS X 10.4, this spkg installation hangs at
checking the L1 cache size... 32768 Bytes checking the L2 cache size... 262144 Bytes checking for cache sizes...
I'm assuming this "cache size" checking isn't supposed to take 10 or more minutes.
comment:35 Changed 11 years ago by
Can you run spkg-install manually, i.e. unpack the spkg and run ./spkg-install in a SAGE shell? It will print intermediate information which might tell us whether it just takes long or whether it really hangs?
comment:36 Changed 11 years ago by
So far it just seems to be extremely slow. Well, this is a machine with a 700MHz processor...
In lines like
s: 512, rx: 18.03, x: 18.03, wt: 18.03, dx: NaN s: 1024, rx: 73.30, x: 73.30, wt: 73.31, dx: 2.03
which column gives the timing, if any?

What I would say is to disable this on any machine that is probably old and slow - this is probably not a PPC thing per se. That would be OS X 10.4, probably older versions of Ubuntu, ... I don't know how one would do this, though.

This is the new file and class 'sage.matrix.matrix_mod2e_dense.Matrix_mod2e_dense' as indicated above. Since the tests for _multiply_classical
work in other files, something isn't working about the inheritance.
This could be related to my having installed numpy 1.6 before testing. But that would seem strange, since neither this nor the other multiplication rely on this, they are .pyx files... and all the other ones work...
PS: Thank you so much for taking an interest in this ticket!
I just have an interest in making sure older systems can still use Sage. There is too much planned obsolescence in computers already.

Hi, can you give
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/malb/spkgs/libm4ri-20110701.alpha.spkg
a try? It doesn't fix the doctest failures but compilation should be quicker and provide more feedback.

comment:43 Changed 11 years ago by
I'm a little confused. The spkgs here and at #11574 are both libm4ri, and seem to be numbered backwards (the "earlier" one in the dependency is from 2011).

Okay, I figured it out - sorry for the noise. I agree that it is very annoying to have two things inside the same spkg. There is, for instance, an open ticket to remove rpy2 from the r spkg.

NP, I should have explained things better.

Well, it makes it easier to re-use tuning results. For example, I plan to run the cache tuning only once, i.e. for M4RI and M4RIE would re-use the results.

That makes a lot of sense, especially since that takes a while even on speedy machines.
By the way, I tried #11574 but ran into trouble with an undefined symbol about m4ri_swap_bits
, perhaps due to my having installed #9562 first. I did apply the patch at #11574. Anyway, I'm reverting to the vanilla Sage version, and then going back to #11574 (I already had done the PolyBoRi upgrade).

Hi, I updated the patch for #11574 21h ago, did you try it? It fixes the missing symbol stuff.

If I could just squeeze an extra request (not counting for review): could you tag a corresponding release of m4rie on bitbucket? That way I could make a gentoo ebuild from the bitbucket release rather than pulling the spkg.
I also see that suddenly we have split libm4rie from libm4ri (which I am happy about) but without apparent warnings.
comment:57 Changed 11 years ago by
- Status changed from needs_review to needs_work
Yeah, sorry I was a bit lazy:
1) There will be an official 20110715 release of both M4RI and M4RIE. I put together the SPKGs to test whether they work with Sage. So perhaps I shouldn't have set "needs review"
2) Yes, I gave in to the demand to split them. I should have mentioned it.

I got doctest failures in 4 files. But I have to admit that I applied your patch on top of various other patches, in particular #9138 (which is quite invasive). So, it could be that the problems are ultimately due to other patches.

- Work issues set to Improve scalar multiplication; add docs to the references
I found one benchmark that you should improve:

The reason is that "A*c" relies on a slow generic implementation.
I am sure that your library has a fast way to multiply a row respectively a matrix with a scalar. But you should overload _lmul_
(please not _rmul_
, according to the documentation), so that the user can benefit from it.

The doc tests pass, but I think the documentation must be put into the reference manual.
I'm not sure that's desirable: most functions are cdefs and hence won't show up. Other functions begin with underscores (_foo
) and hence won't show up. Thus, it looks pretty weird and as if very few actual functionality was implemented.

Actually it seems you are right. ALL attributes of sage.matrix.matrix_mod2_dense.Matrix_mod2_dense
either start with "_" or override a method that is documented in sage.matrix.matrix_dense.Matrix_dense
.

I am puzzled. I see that your new patch version contains _lmul_. When I downloaded it and read it in an editor, I find _lmul_. When I qdelete the old patch and qimport the new one, then _lmul_ is missing.

No. When I tried first, I simply did qpush
after the qimport, and sage -br
, but found that _lmul_
was missing.
When one qimports a patch, then it is stored in the folder .hg/patches
. When one qdeletes it, it is also removed from the folder.
And when I qimported your new patch, a file with the given patch name was created in .hg/patches
, but that file did not contain the string "lmul".
That never happened to me before today.

The timings have clearly improved:

That is good enough, I'd say.
Personally, I am still not happy, since scalar multiplication will very frequently occur in my application. My Meataxe fork does the first example in 39.4 ms and the second one in 20 µs. On the other hand, the time that I can gain by using M4RIE in echelon computation will probably be more than the time lost in scalar multiplication...

- Status changed from needs_review to needs_work
Finally, the tests on 32 bit solaris (mark on skynet) are finshed. They passed, modulo the usual timeouts. The long tests pass on my machine. If I understand the discussion above, it builds on 64 bit solaris and on Cygwin as well, and of course on linux and os x.
Moreover, it provides a very impressive speedup compared with old Sage matrices over GF(2e). If I am not mistaken, it is even faster than Magma.
So, it is almost a positive review.
But there remain a few things to do.
- David Kirkby noted that we are adding a new standard spkg here. So, there should be a voting on sage-devel. So, that's "needs info".
- I found some issues with the "randomize" methods.
i) The randomize method in sage/libs/ntl/ntl_mat_GF2E.pyx is not documented (thus, also has no tests), and it lacks the usual optional arguments
density
andnonzero
.
ii) The doc of Matrix_mod2e_dense.randomize gives no use cases for the optional arguments. Actually, the behaviour when passing the optional arguments is clearly not what we want:
sage: MS = MatrixSpace(GF(64,'a'),100,100) sage: A = MS.random_element(densitiy=0.3) sage: A.density() 4913/5000 sage: B = MS.random_element(nonzero=True) sage: B.density() 2469/2500 sage: C = MS.random_element(nonzero=True, density=1) sage: C.density() 2461/2500 sage: D = MS.random_element(density=0) sage: D.density() 983/1000
- The doc of many methods needs some polishing.
- It would be nice to have a reference to research articles. I had never heard of Travolta tables before. Strassen-Winograd and Karatsuba may be better known, but still, a reference could help.
- _matrix_times_matrix is not documented.
__init__
,__cinit__
do not specify their arguments.
_lmul_
,__neg__
,__richcmp__
,__invert__
,__reduce__
,set_unsafe
andget_unsafe
do not state what they do, and the method names do not occur in the example (so, it should be marked as an indirect doctest).
- cdef'd methods such as rescale_row_c or add_multiple_of_row_c or swap_rows_c and so on may not be as easily visible by the user than Python methods. However, as a courtesy to developers who actually read the source file, the arguments of those methods should be specified.
- "echelonize" should state what it does and what its optional arguments are. If I am not mistaken, it changes the matrix inplace, and that should be documented.
- When I read "Classical cubic matrix multiplication.", I first understood that the matrix is cubic. But perhaps I'm a bit square here...
So, that's "needs work" for now.
Since there should be a vote on sage-devel anyway, we might also ask whether it should be included in the docs. I am still not sure: On the one hand, I think a reference manual should be thorough. On the other hand, all "new" methods that are no cdef'd methods and do not start with an underscore overwrite methods from super-classes that are documented elsewhere.

I agree that it is very annoying to have two things inside the same spkg. There is, for instance, an open ticket to remove rpy2 from the r spkg.
Well, it makes it easier to re-use tuning results. For example, I plan to run the cache tuning only once, i.e. for M4RI and M4RIE would re-use the results.
Save them to some file in, say, $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/m4ri/
?

P.S.: This would perhaps even allow specifying cache sizes manually, though the proper way would be something like
$ export M4RI_EXTRA_OPTS="--L1-cache-size=32 --L2-cache-size=1024" # passed to M4RI[E]'s 'configure' $ sage -i m4rie
(And similar options for other cache parameters like the cache line sizes.)
Specifying these may at least speed up the tuning (by omitting a lot of tries); don't know if you could skip tuning, given these, in whole.
Storing and using tuning parameters analoguous to GMP's gmp-mparams.h
(including defaults for a couple of platforms / processors) wouldn't be bad either; then [optionally] bypassing self-tuning would really make sense.

Looks like you're currently not trying to query any of

AFAIK you'd have to set some feature test macro before including unistd.h
on Solaris, although I doubt it supports any of the above.
comment:94 Changed 11 years ago by
- there's an optional parameter
--with-cachesize
for M4RI's configure which allows to specify L1 and L2. - However, this is not exported to Sage, i.e. M4RI_EXTRA_OPTS does not exist yet.
- M4RIE does not re-tune any more but re-uses the data from M4RI.
- In my experience (on i7s for example) tuning is much better than using the data reported by the CPU. That is, if one trusts L1 and L2 as reported by the CPU (which are correct) the code is much slower than tuning which essentially uses L3 instead of L2.

m4rie_for_sage.patch did not apply on top of my private patch chain.
Ouch, how unfortunate. I guess it's in
matrix_space.py
?
Sure. It is when the __matrix_class
is determined. And of course I have already modified the patches in my private patch chain, so that I can continue to work...
I'm not so sure about this. They are fairly independent. I suggest each is reviewed independently and whichever gets in later is re-based accordingly.
Makes sense.

This clearly needs work since M4RIE does not add the appropriate -msse2 flag if M4RI was built with it.

Is it still "needs work", or does your new patch fixes the -msse2 flag issue? The official work issues are Fix some docs and fix "randomize()"
. Is that still relevant?

I've released a new version of M4RIE,
which fixes bugs, deals with M4RI SSE2 flags correctly, implements asymptotically fast Gaussian elimination and triangular system solving, has a new Travolta table creation which is much much faster ...
The attached patch also takes care of any work issues I am aware of.
I've tested this code (patch + SPKG) on cicero, sage.math, bsd. I'm currently testing on iras.

Sorry, I will be unable to review for a few days. #11339 has destroyed most of my patch chain, and I will be busy with rebasing the majority of the patches that I've been working on in the last couple of weeks.
comment:121 Changed 11 years ago by
Yep, expected that much. Sorry, for being involved causing you this much trouble!
comment:122 Changed 11 years ago by
doctests also pass on iras, except for R doctests since I didn't bother to look up how to build R on iras.

It seems to me that all previous complaints are addressed in the new spkg and patches.
In particular, if one has opened the spkg, starts a sage shell and does ./spkg-install, then ./spkg-check works, with all tests. passing.
hg status in the spkg is fine, and SPKG.txt looks fine as well (except a typo in the last line, should be "split from", not "split form" - but please leave that error, since the Gods don't like perfection among the mortals :)
Moreover, sage -coverage sage/matrix/matrix_mod2e_dense.pyx
is OK.
All doc tests pass as well, and I think the original problems with t2 had been dealt with.
Thus, I hope all participants agree that it is a positive review!
