Inverting a 4,000,000x4,000,000 sparse matrix in Verilog


This example works on FinSim 10_07_197 and subsequent versions.

This example inverts a simple sparse matrice of 4,000,000x4,000,000 elements of type real twice, uses two norm system functions to measure it and displays all non-zero values on one line and one column.

On a laptop with Intel core i7 at 2.4GHz this example run in 1.29 seconds.

  parameter integer size = 4000000;
  real      MReal1 [size-1 : 0][size-1 : 0];
  real      MRInv [size-1 : 0][size-1 : 0];
  integer   found, lin, col, idx;
  integer   i;
  real      r, max, sum;

  initial begin
    /* declaring sparse matrices */
    $ToSparse(MReal1);
    $ToSparse(MRInv);
      
    /* initializing matrice to be inverted*/
    $Diag(MReal1, 2, 1, 7.0);
    /* $Diag(MReal1, 2, 1, 7.0) is a more efficient version of the code below:
    for (i = 0; i < size/2; i++)
      begin
        MReal1[2*i][i] = 7.0;
      end
    for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
      begin
	MReal1[i][i] = 1.0;
      end
     */
      /*inverting matrix */
      MRInv = MReal1 **(-1); 
      MRInv = MRInv **(-1);

      max = $VpNormAbsMax(MRInv);
      sum = $VpNormAbsSum(MRInv);
      $display("max=%e, sum=%e\n", max, sum);
   end
