Reproduced Computational Results Report for “Ginkgo: A Modern Linear Operator Algebra Framework for High Performance Computing”

Abstract

The article titled “Ginkgo: A Modern Linear Operator Algebra Framework for High Performance Computing” by Anzt et al. presents a modern, linear operator centric, C++ library for sparse linear algebra. Experimental results in the article demonstrate that Ginkgo is a flexible and user-friendly framework capable of achieving high-performance on state-of-the-art GPU architectures. In this report, the Ginkgo library is installed and a subset of the experimental results are reproduced. Specifically, the experiment that shows the achieved memory bandwidth of the Ginkgo Krylov linear solvers on NVIDIA A100 and AMD MI100 GPUs is redone and the results are compared to what presented in the published article. Upon completion of the comparison, the published results are deemed reproducible.
