The paper studies accelerated iterative refinement methods for computing more accurate singular vectors via singular value decomposition of a real matrix, building on an existing Ogita–Aishima approach that relies on highly accurate matrix multiplications. The authors show that the same algorithm can be run with highly accurate multiplications performed five times instead of six, and they further propose four mixed-precision iterative refinement variants using four or five such multiplications. Numerical experiments report speed-ups and quadratic convergence, with the fastest method reported as 1.7× faster on CPU and 1.4× faster on GPU per iteration. A major stated caveat is that the Ogita–Aishima construction (and thus the tested setting) targets problems with no multiple and clustered singular values, which constrains general applicability. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

We propose fast numerical algorithms to improve the accuracy of singular vectors for a real matrix.Recently, Ogita and Aishima proposed an iterative refinement algorithm for singular value decomposition that is constructed with highly accurate matrix multiplications carried out six times per iteration.The algorithm runs for the problem that has no multiple and clustered singular values.In this study, we show that the same algorithm can be run with highly accurate matrix multiplications carried out five times.Also, we proposed four algorithms constructed with highly accurate matrix multiplications, two algorithms with the multiplications carried out four times, and the other two with the multiplications carried out five times. These algorithms adopt the idea of a mixed-precision iterative refinement method for linear systems.Numerical experiments demonstrate speed-up and quadratic convergence of the proposed algorithms.As a result, the fastest algorithm is 1.7 and 1.4 times faster than the Ogita-Aishima algorithm per iteration on a CPU and GPU, respectively.
