0.4 Implementing kronecker products efficiently (Page 2/2)

Automatic generation of prime Page 2 / 2

C (g) = Q_{g (1)} c_{g (2)} c_{g (3)} + r_{g (1)} Q_{g (2)} c_{g (3)} + r_{g (1)} r_{g (2)} Q_{g (3)}

In general

C (g) = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (\prod_{j = 1}^{i - 1}, r_{g (j)}) Q_{g (i)} (\prod_{j = i + 1}^{n}, c_{g (j)}) .

Therefore, the most efficient factorization of $\otimes_{i} A_{i}$ is described by the permutation $g (\cdot)$ that minimizes $C$ .

It turns out that for the Kronecker product of more than two matrices, the ordering of operations that describesthe most efficient factorization of $\otimes_{i} A_{i}$ also depends only on the ratios $(r_{i} - c_{i}) / Q_{i}$ . To show that this is the case, suppose $u (\cdot)$ is the permutation that minimizes $C$ , then $u (\cdot)$ has the property that

\frac{r_{u (k)} - c_{u (k)}}{Q_{u (k)}} \leq \frac{r_{u (k + 1)} - c_{u (k + 1)}}{Q_{u (k + 1)}}

for $k = 1, \dots, n - 1$ . To support this, note that since $u (\cdot)$ is the permutation that minimizes $C$ , we have in particular

C (u) \leq C (v)

where $v (\cdot)$ is the permutation defined by the following:

v (i) = {\begin{matrix} u (i) & i < k, i > k + 1 \\ u (k + 1) & i = k \\ u (k) & i = k + 1 \end{matrix} .

Because only two terms in [link] are different, we have from [link]

\sum_{i = k}^{k + 1} (\prod_{j = 1}^{i - 1}, r_{u (j)}) Q_{u (i)} (\prod_{j = i + 1}^{n}, c_{u (j)}) \leq \sum_{i = k}^{k + 1} (\prod_{j = 1}^{i - 1}, r_{v (j)}) Q_{v (i)} (\prod_{j = i + 1}^{n}, c_{v (j)})

which, after canceling common terms from each side, gives

Q_{u (k)} c_{u (k + 1)} + r_{u (k)} Q_{u (k + 1)} \leq Q_{v (k)} c_{v (k + 1)} + r_{v (k)} Q_{v (k + 1)} .

Since $v (k) = u (k + 1)$ and $v (k + 1) = u (k)$ this becomes

Q_{u (k)} c_{u (k + 1)} + r_{u (k)} Q_{u (k + 1)} \leq Q_{u (k + 1)} c_{u (k)} + r_{u (k + 1)} Q_{u (k)}

which is equivalent to [link] . Therefore, to find the best factorization of $\otimes_{i} A_{i}$ it is necessary only to compute the ratios $(r_{i} - c_{i}) / Q_{i}$ and to order them in an non-decreasing order. The operation $A_{i}$ whose index appears first in this list is applied to the data vector $x$ first, and so on

As above, if $r_{u (k + 1)} > c_{u (k + 1)}$ and $r_{u (k)} < c_{u (k)}$ then [link] is always true. Therefore, in the most computationally efficientfactorization of $\otimes_{i} A_{i}$ , all matrices with fewer rows than columns are always applied to the data vector $x$ before any matrices with more rows than columns.If some matrices are square, then their ordering does not affect the computational efficiency as longas they are applied after all matrices with fewer rows than columns and before all matrices with more rows than columns.

Once the permutation $g (\cdot)$ that minimizes $C$ is determined by ordering the ratios $(r_{i} - c_{i}) / Q_{i}$ , $\otimes_{i} A_{i}$ can be written as

\otimes_{i = 1}^{n} A_{i} = \prod_{i = n}^{1} I_{a (i)} \otimes A_{g (i)} \otimes I_{b (i)}

where

a (i) = \prod_{k = 1}^{g (i) - 1} γ (i, k)

b (i) = \prod_{k = g (i) + 1}^{n} γ (i, k)

and where $γ (\cdot)$ is defined by

γ (i, k) = {\begin{matrix} r_{k} & if g (i) > g (k) \\ c_{k} & if g (i) < g (k) \end{matrix} .

Some matlab code

A Matlab program that computes the permutation that describes the computationally most efficientfactorization of $\otimes_{i = 1}^{n} A_{i}$ is cgc() . It also gives the resulting computational cost.It requires the computational cost of each of the matrices $A_{i}$ and the number of rows and columns of each.

function [g,C] = cgc(Q,r,c,n)% [g,C] = cgc(Q,r,c,n);% Compute g and C
% g : permutation that minimizes C% C : computational cost of Kronecker product of A(1),...,A(n)
% Q : computation cost of A(i)% r : rows of A(i)
% c : columns of A(i)% n : number of terms
f = find(Q==0);Q(f) = eps * ones(size(Q(f)));
Q = Q(:);r = r(:);
c = c(:);[s,g] = sort((r-c)./Q);C = 0;
for i = 1:nC = C + prod(r(g(1:i-1)))*Q(g(i))*prod(c(g(i+1:n)));
endC = round(C);

The Matlab program kpi() implements the Kronecker product $\otimes_{i = 1}^{n} A_{i}$ .

function y = kpi(d,g,r,c,n,x)
% y = kpi(d,g,r,c,n,x);% Kronecker Product : A(d(1)) kron ... kron A(d(n))
% g : permutation of 1,...,n% r : [r(1),...,r(n)]
% c : [c(1),..,c(n)]% r(i) : rows of A(d(i))
% c(i) : columns of A(d(i))% n : number of terms
for i = 1:na = 1;
   for k = 1:(g(i)-1)if i>find(g==k) 
         a = a * r(k);else
         a = a * c(k);end
   endb = 1;
   for k = (g(i)+1):nif i>find(g==k)
         b = b * r(k);else
         b = b * c(k);end
   end% y = (I(a) kron A(d(g(i))) kron I(b)) * x;
   y = IAI(d(g(i)),a,b,x);end

where the last line of code calls a function that implements $(I_{a} \otimes A_{d (g (i))} \otimes I_{b}) x$ . That is, the program IAI(i,a,b,x) implements $(I_{a} \otimes A (i) \otimes I_{b}) x$ .

The Matlab program IAI implements $y = (I_{m} \otimes A \otimes I_{n}) x$

function y = IAI(A,r,c,m,n,x)
% y = (I(m) kron A kron I(n))x% r : number of rows of A
% c : number of columns of Av = 0:n:n*(r-1);
u = 0:n:n*(c-1);for i = 0:m-1
   for j = 0:n-1y(v+i*r*n+j+1) = A * x(u+i*c*n+j+1);
   endend

It simply uses two loops to implement the $m n$ copies of $A$ . Each copy of $A$ is applied to a different subset of the elements of $x$ .

Vector/parallel interpretation

The command $I \otimes A \otimes I$ where $\otimes$ is the Kronecker (or Tensor) product can be interpreted as avector/parallel command [link] , [link] . In these references, the implementation of thesecommands is discussed in detail and they have found that the Tensor product is“an extremely useful tool for matching algorithms to computer architectures [link] .”

The expression $I \otimes A$ can easily be seen to represent a parallel command:

I \otimes A = [\begin{matrix} A \\ A \\ ⋱ \\ A \end{matrix}] .

Each block along the diagonal acts on non-overlapping sections of the data vector - so that each sectioncan be performed in parallel. Since each section represents exactly the same operation, this form isamenable to implementation on a computer with aparallel architectural configuration. The expression $A \otimes I$ can be similarly seen to represent a vector command, see [link] .

It should also be noted that by employing `stride' permutations, the command $(I \otimes A \otimes I) x$ can be replaced by either $(I \otimes A) x$ or $(A \otimes I) x$ [link] , [link] . It is only necessary to permute the input and output.It is also the case that these stride permutations are natural loading and storing commands for some architectures.

In the programs we have written in conjunction with this paper we implement the commands $y = (I \otimes A \otimes I) x$ with loops in a set of subroutines. The circular convolution and prime length FFT programswe present, however, explicitly use the form $I \otimes A \otimes I$ to make clear the structure of the algorithm, to make themmore modular and simpler, and to make them amenable to implementation on special architectures.In fact, in [link] it is suggested that it might be practical to develop tensor product compilers.The FFT programs we have generated will be well suited for such compilers.
