Batch matrix exponential computation with CPU/GPU
This code is based on Ken Johnson's "expm_". I extended it to compute with GPU. Besides, it can compute for several matrices at a time by using Pade approximation. The matrices should be stored in each page of a multidimensional array.
For CPU computation, please install Yuval's "mmx" for a faster matrix computation, otherwise, it uses a for-loop.
This code can be 400x faster than using for-loop Matlab "expm" when calculating 10000 5x5 randn matrices under GPU. It takes only 0.04s, while Matlab "expm" takes 20s.
Future plan: For Hermitian (or possibly anti-Hermitian) matrices, calculate the eigenvectors and eigenvalues for multiple matrices at once with GPU with householder transformation and QR decomposition, and then use them to calculate expm, which should be faster and this is what Matlab expm does when it's a hermitian matrix. This will take a long time since I'm not familiar with these two methods and I can only do it "if I have enough free time".

Version | Published | Release Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
1.0.3 | Bug fixed. I compared a bunch of random matrices and it works well. It should be fine now. |
||
1.0.1.2 | Still has bugs |
||
1.0.1.1 | Bug fixed.
|
||
1.0.1 | Please stop using this. I found a bug if the dimension of the input array is more than 4. That is to say, it can only deal with (n,n,num_matrix) cases |
||
1.0.0.2 | Put in the benchmark for the comparison of Matlab expm with for loop and this "myexpm_" function. |
||
1.0.0.1 | Fix a bug in multslash |
