\begin{frame}{Portable {\bf Extensible} Toolkit for Scientific computing}
\begin{block}{Philosophy: Everything has a plugin architecture}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Vectors, Matrices, Coloring/ordering/partitioning algorithms
  \item Preconditioners, Krylov accelerators
  \item Nonlinear solvers, Time integrators
  \item Spatial discretizations/topology$^*$
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\begin{example}
	Vendor supplies matrix format and associated preconditioner, distributes
	compiled shared library.  Application user loads plugin at runtime, no source
	code in sight.
\end{example}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Portable Extensible {\bf Toolkit} for Scientific computing}
Algorithms, (parallel) debugging aids, low-overhead profiling
\begin{block}{Composability}
Try new algorithms by choosing from product space and composing
existing algorithms (multilevel, domain decomposition, splitting).
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Experimentation}
\begin{itemize}
  \item It is not possible to pick the solver \emph{a priori}. \\
  What will deliver best/competitive performance for a given physics, discretization, architecture, and problem size?
  \item PETSc's response: expose an algebra of composition so new solvers can be created at runtime.
  \item Important to keep solvers decoupled from physics and discretization because we also experiment with those. 
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{frame}

\section{Time Integration}
\begin{frame}{Trade-offs in time integration}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Properties
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Nonlinear stability (e.g., positivity preservation)
    \item Stability along imaginary axis
    \item $L$-stability (damping at infinity)
    \item Implicitness and reuse
    \end{itemize}
  \item What is expensive?
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Function evaluation
    \item Operator assembly/preconditioner setup
      \begin{itemize}
      \item How much can be reused for how long?
      \end{itemize}
    \item Implicit solves
      \begin{itemize}
      \item Can we find better solver algorithm?
      \item More effort in setup?
      \end{itemize}
    \end{itemize}
  \item What is ``convergence''?
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Wave propagation: implicitness useless for convergence \emph{in a norm}
    \item Non-norm functionals could be robust
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Reusing implicit solver setup}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Linearization
  \item MG interpolants
  \item Lagged preconditioner
  \item Modified Newton
  \item Quasi-Newton
  \item IMEX with linear implicit part
  \item Rosenbrock/W
  \end{itemize}

  \item one-parameter family of solutions

\begin{frame}{Adaptive controllers}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item ``Stiff'' waves are not stiff if one wants to converge \emph{in a norm}
  \item PETSc integrators provide embedded methods to estimate errors
  \item Automatic controllers optimize local truncation error and nonlinear solve cost
  \item User can register custom controllers
  \item Use a priori knowledge of the physics, robust functionals
  \item Choose from list of methods, choose next step size
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Nonlinear solvers}
\begin{frame}{Which nonlinear solver?}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Global linearization (NewtonLS, NewtonTR)
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Preconditioning libraries for assembled matrices
    \item Low arithmetic intensity
    \end{itemize}
  \item Quasi-Newton
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Build low-rank updates to Jacobian inverse
    \item Brown and Brune, ``Low-rank quasi-Newton updates for robust Jacobian lagging in Newton-type methods'', ANS MC13.
    \end{itemize}
  \item Nonlinear multigrid and domain decomposition
    \begin{itemize}
    \item ASPIN (left-preconditioned nonlinear Schwarz), also right-preconditioned
    \item Full Approximation Scheme with linear or nonlinear smoothers
    \item More intrusive, but freakishly efficient for difficult problems
    \end{itemize}
  \item Nonlinear GMRES, Anderson mixing, nonlinear CG
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Accelerator for nonlinear preconditioning
    \item Good alternative to matrix-free finite differencing
    \item More robust line search possible: operates in reduced basis
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
