Parallel Evaluation of Mathematica Programs in Remote Computers Available in Network

Abstract

Mathematica is a powerful application package for doing mathematics and is used almost in all branches of science. It has widespread applications ranging from quantum computation, statistical analysis, number theory, zoology, astronomy, and many more. Mathematica gives a rich set of programming extensions to its end-user language, and it permits us to write programs in procedural, functional, or logic (rule-based) style, or a mixture of all three. For tasks requiring interfaces to the external environment, mathematica provides mathlink, which allows us to communicate mathematica programs with external programs written in C, C++, F77, F90, F95, Java, or other languages. It has also extensive capabilities for editing graphics, equations, text, etc. In this article, we explore the basic mechanisms of parallelization of a mathematica program by sharing different parts of the program into all other computers available in the network. Doing the parallelization, we can perform large computational operations within a very short period of time, and therefore, the efficiency of the numerical works can be achieved. Parallel computation supports any version of mathematica and it also works as well even if different versions of mathematica are installed in different computers. The whole operation can run under any supported operating system like Unix, Windows, Macintosh, etc. Here we focus our study only for the Unix based operating system, but this method works as well for all other cases.

Ozaki Scheme II: A GEMM-oriented emulation of floating-point matrix multiplication using an integer modular technique

This paper addresses emulation algorithms for matrix multiplication. General Matrix-Matrix Multiplication (GEMM), a fundamental operation in the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), is typically optimized for specific hardware architectures. The Ozaki scheme is a well-established GEMM-based emulation method for matrix multiplication, wherein input matrices are decomposed into several low-precision components to ensure that the resulting matrix product is computed exactly through numerical operations. This study proposes a novel GEMM-based emulation method for matrix multiplication that leverages the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The proposed method inherits the computational efficiency of highly optimized GEMM routines and further enables control over the number of matrix multiplications, which can enhance computational accuracy. We present numerical experiments featuring INT8 Tensor Core operations on GPUs and FP64 arithmetic on CPUs as case studies. The results demonstrate that FP64 emulation using the proposed method achieves performance levels of up to 7.4 to 9.8 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA RTX 4090 and 56.6 to 80.2 TFLOPS on the NVIDIA GH200, exceeding the measured performance of native FP64 arithmetic. Furthermore, for FP64 computations on CPUs, the proposed method achieved up to a 2.3x speedup in emulating quadruple-precision arithmetic compared to the conventional Ozaki scheme.

Eigensolvers for polynomial roots and tensor decomposition

Computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors is at the heart of the solution of many non-linear problems. For instance, finding the roots of polynomial systems reduces to computing joint eigenvectors of operators of multiplication. Similarly, tensor decomposition can be performed via the joint diagonalization of submatrices of the Catalecticant of the tensor. We describe and illustrate symbolic-numeric methods for computing the solutions of these algebraic problems from the computation of joint eigenvectors of commuting operators, and for analysing their multiplicity structure, as well as their implementation in the package AlgebraicSolvers.jl.

The Art of Closed-Formula Defaults: Search-Free Code Generation for Tensor Operators

Agentic search and automated optimization of GPU kernels are powerful tools for large language model inference. Their effectiveness, however, depends not on the sophistication of the search itself, but on the clarity of the optimization problem being solved. We provide an application-first approach that drives a hierarchical code generation tool from operator specifi cation down to GPU instructions, and show that a clearly defined computational model makes the optimization problem tractable.
