Description

We present a brief overview of deflation algorithms recently implemented in the SciDAC QUDA library for solving the lattice-Dirac equation with multiple right-hand sides on NVIDIA accelerators. In particular, we discuss implementation aspects of the mixed precision technique for the eigenvalue deflation which helps to considerably relax GPU memory requirements while allowing for an appropriate deflation quality in fermion matrix inverters. We analyze the efficiency of mixed precision deflation on the examples of HISQ and Wilson twisted mass ensembles.
