Behavior changes

Deprecations

Summary of previous deprecations

• The device_reset parameter of CUDA and HIP executors no longer has an effect, and its allocation_mode parameters have been deprecated in favor of the Allocator interface.
• The CMake parameter GINKGO_BUILD_DPCPP has been deprecated in favor of GINKGO_BUILD_SYCL.
• The gko::reorder::Rcm interface has been deprecated in favor of gko::experimental::reorder::Rcm based on Permutation.
• The Permutation class' permute_mask functionality.
• Multiple functions with typos (set_complex_subpsace(), range functions such as conj_operaton etc).
• gko::lend() is not necessary anymore.
• The classes RelativeResidualNorm and AbsoluteResidualNorm are deprecated in favor of ResidualNorm.
• The class AmgxPgm is deprecated in favor of Pgm.
• Default constructors for the CSR load_balance and automatical strategies
• The PolymorphicObject's move-semantic copy_from variant
• The templated SolverBase class.
• The class MachineTopology is deprecated in favor of machine_topology.
• Logger constructors and create functions with the executor parameter.
• The virtual, protected, Dense functions compute_norm1_impl, add_scaled_impl, etc.
• Logger events for solvers and criterion without the additional implicit_tau_sq parameter.
• The global gko::solver::default_krylov_dim, use instead gko::solver::gmres_default_krylov_dim.
• array::get_num_elems() has been renamed to get_size()
• matrix_data::ensure_row_major_order() has been renamed to sort_row_major()
• device_matrix_data::get_num_elems() has been renamed to get_num_stored_elements()
• The CMake parameter GINKGO_COMPILER_FLAGS has been superseded by CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, and GINKGO_CUDA_COMPILER_FLAGS has been superseded by CMAKE_CUDA_FLAGS
• The std::initializer_list overloads of matrix create methods and constructors are deprecated in favor of explicit array parameters

Added features

• Add Executor::get_description() for textual representation of the device #1615
• Add row and column scaling functionality to the distributed matrix #1640
• Add SolverProgress logger printing out or storing to disk the individual scalars (and vectors) of an iterative solvers after each iteration #1620

Improvements

Fixes

• Fix the algorithm usage of transposed triangular solver, which is the same as the original one not the default algorithm #1641
• Fix the inconsistent behavior on the zero diagonal value in scalar Jacobi #1642
