1. CSE245 Lab 3
In this lab we will use KLU (klu), GMRES (gmres) and Preconditioned Conjugate Gradients (pcg) methods in Matlab to solve four circuit matrices* and compare the results.
Setup:
ssh to cselab1.ucsd.edu and execute the following commands:
cp /home/hepeng/cse245_lab3.tar.gz .
tar xvzf cse245_lab3.tar.gz
cd cse245_lab3
matlab &
Generate a random right hand side b for the matrices. For example, run the following commands in Matlab:
%load matlab file scircuit.mat
load scircuit;
A = Problem.A;
% generate RHS
b = sum(A,2);
% solve Ax = b
…..

Before you start, please read the matlab reference pages for these solvers. (Type doc klu or doc gmres or doc pcg in Matlab to access these reference pages)
Use ILU (luinc) as preconditioner for GMRES and PCG.
Do not use PCG unless the matrix is symmetric and positive definite.
It is suggested that you read and run the KLU demo in Matlab:
edit /home/hepeng/klu/KLU/MATLAB/klu_demo.m
For more information about KLU:
Tune input parameters for each solver and try to get the best runtime** results.
Deliverable:
A Matlab script that reads the circuit matrices and calls klu/gmres/pcg to solve the matrices.
A report that compares the runtime of these three different solvers. Explain the runtime difference.
