A Reexamination of the COnfLUX 2.5D LU Factorization Algorithm
Abstract
This article conducts a reexamination of the research conducted by Kwasniewski et al., focusing on their adaptation of the 2.5D LU factorization algorithm with tournament pivoting, known as COnfLUX. Our reexamination reveals potential concerns regarding the upper bound, empirical investigation methods, and lower bound, despite the original study providing a theoretical foundation and an instantiation of the proposed algorithm. This paper offers a reexamination of these matters, highlighting probable shortcomings in the original investigation. Our observations are intended to enhance the development and comprehension of parallel matrix factorization algorithms.
