Computational science applications involving large, sparse matrices often employ standard numerical algorithms using single n-dimensional vectors. However, a reformulation using k of these vectors, grouped as columns of an n x k matrix where n >> k, enjoys substantially better memory efficiency on modern computer architectures with deep memory hierarchies and limited memory bandwidth. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss issues in the implementation of these so-called multivectors and several areas of scientific computing that can benefit from their use. They will analyze the role of multivectors in large-scale applications including iterative methods for sparse linear systems and eigenproblems, and discuss automatic differentiation.
