Title A fast triangular solve on GPUs
Contributors
Abstract The level 2 BLAS operation trsv performs a dense triangular solve, and is often used in the solve phase of a direct solver following a matrix factorization. With the advent of manycore architectures the importance of this memory-bound kernel is increasingly important, particularly for sparse direct solvers used in optimization applications. In this paper, a high performance implementation of the triangular solve is developed through a careful analysis of theoretical and practical bounds on the possible performance. This implementation outperforms the the CUBLAS by a factor of 5--15.
