type that is set to 'long long int' (when configured with this option) to
enable the solution of linear systems that have more than 2 billion unknowns,
while reducing the memory use and computational costs needed with the previous
option '--enable-bigint' (still available). Note that this option currently
disables Euclid, ParaSails, pilut, and CGC coarsening in BoomerAMG.
- Various GPU optimizations.
- Changed documentation to use Sphinx and Doxygen. The User Manual is available
online through the hypre GitHub repo. The Reference Manual is not yet online.

all coarse grids, up to a specified coarse level.
- Changed defaults in AMG Hybrid solver to match BoomerAMG defaults
- Updated hypre blas/lapack implementation
- Removed SuperLU/DSuperLU from the distribution and updated the FEI code to
work with external installations of SuperLU/SuperLU_DIST (version 5.2.1)
- Fixed a bug in Euclid
- Fixed Windows Visual Studio compile (version 2017)
#====================================
Version 2.12.1 released 2017/09/29
- Added support for single and quad precision floating point numbers
- Added weighted Jacobi (relax_type 7) to be usable on GPU in BoomerAMG
- Various bug fixes
#====================================
Version 2.12.0 released 2017/05/02
- Added GPU support to hypre. The Struct and SStruct code can use CUDA, RAJA,
or KOKKOS. The ParCSR code uses CUDA. The BoomerAMG setup phase is not yet
ported to the GPU. This release uses unified memory.
#====================================
Version 2.11.2 released 2017/03/13
- Changed the defaults in hypre to HMIS with ext+i(4) interpolation
- Added a routine HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetOldDefault to easily get old defaults

- Modified code to enable compilation with a C++ compiler.
- Added several missing Fortran interface routines in Struct and BoomerAMG
- Updated the AME and LOBPCG interfaces to work correctly with both absolute and
relative tolerances.
#====================================
Version 2.11.0 released 2016/03/28
- Added a new function hypre_BoomerAMGSetKeepTranspose, which will store the
transposes of the interpolation operators and then replace the multiplication
of the transpose of P with a more efficient matvec.
- Added a new function hypre_BoomerAMGSetRAP2, which will replace the triple
matrix product R*A*P by two matrix-matrix products. This has shown to be
faster on BG/Q. Note that setting this function will prevent the keeping of
transposes.
- Added various changes that can improve performance on certain architectures,
particularly in the BoomerAMG Setup when using threading. While some of them
will be in effect automatically, using the configure options --with-openmp
--enable-hopscotch can lead to additional improvements if atomic operations
are available. The configure option --enable-persistent allows the use of
persistent communication if available. (Many of these changes are described in
"High-Performance Algebraic Multigrid Solver Optimized for Multi-Core Based
Distributed Parallel Systems" by J. Park, M. Smelyanskiy, U.M. Yang,
D. Mudigere, P. Dubey, published in Proceedings of SC15.)
- Modified configure to conform to xSDK standards in IDEAS project
(https://ideas-productivity.org/focus-areas/xsdk/)
- Fixed a bug related to SStructSetSharedPart and SetNeighborPart
- Fixed a bug in elasticity interpolation for BoomerAMG
- Fixed an MPI bug that was causing Parasails to hang occasionally
- Removed Babel from the release
#====================================
Version 2.10.1 released 2015/09/11
- Fixed various bugs in AMG and the IJ interface.
- Changed function names to set interpolation truncation parameters for
mult-additive versions as follows:
HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetAddTruncFactor to HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetMultAddTruncFactor
HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetAddPMaxElmts to HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetMultAddPMAxElmts
- Replaced the function HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetNonGalerkTol, which sets parameters

HYPRE_BommerAMGSetLevelNonGalerkinTol
#====================================
Version 2.10.0b released 2015/01/22

- Added new non-Galerkin coarse grid construction scheme to reduce communication
and complexity.
- Extended GLVis visualization to all 2D and 3D example codes.
- Changed the configure settings to use --disable-global-partition by default.
The equivalent old option --with-no-global-partition is still available, but
users should migrate to the new one.
#====================================
Version 2.9.4a released 2013/11/21
- Minor bug fix in AMS and other minor changes.
#====================================
Version 2.9.3a released 2013/10/15
- Extended AMS to work for AMR problems on quad/hex meshes by removing an
assumption that the discrete gradient G only has +-1 entries. Also changed
default smoother in AMS to l1-GS.
- Added a hi-D capability to Struct and SStruct. Use the --enable-maxdim option
to configure the library for higher-than-3D usage.
- Added complex system support to a subset of the library, including most of the
matrix-vector class functions and the Krylov solvers. Currently does not
support the FEI or babel components. Use the --enable-complex option to set.
#====================================
Version 2.9.2a released 2013/02/15
- Added HYPRE_AMSSet*AMGCoarseRelaxType for specifying the coarsest level
relaxation for the AMG subspace solvers in AMS. Since the subspace matrices
are often singular, the default value uses l1-GS on the coarsest level, which
is different from BoomerAMG's default (exact solve).
- Fixed a bug in the IJ interface related to setting off-processor values when
hypre is configured to use the assumed partition.
- Fixed a bug in BoomerAMG when using C-F L1-Jacobi on coarsest grid, and fixed
a memory bug related to interpolation.
#====================================
Version 2.9.1a released 2013/01/16
- Added a HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetRedundant() switch to allow for an agglomeration
approach for solving the coarsest grid system.
- Changed how BoomerAMG handles zero diagonal entries.
- Made a few minor bug fixes in BoomerAMG.
- Fixed a configuration problem with external blas and lapack.
#====================================
Version 2.9.0b released 2012/10/30
- Changed the behavior of the BoomerAMG interpolation routines when a zero
diagonal is encountered to avoid divide-by-zero issues.
#====================================
Version 2.8.3a released 2012/09/28
- Fixed some memory allocation problems in SStruct, including code related to
the SetPeriodic() routine.
- Updated the CMake build system to build the FEI component of hypre also.
- Flattened the directory structure for the FEI code.
#====================================
Version 2.8.2a released 2012/05/10
- Added threading to multipass interpolation in BoomerAMG.
- Fixed a coarsening problem in PFMG when the diagonal is negative.
- Added a new option to BoomerAMG to specify a minimum coarse grid size.
#====================================
Version 2.8.1a released 2012/03/19
- For non-cell data, fixed a memory problem with SStructGraphAddEntries() and an
accumulation problem with SStructMatrixAddValues().
- Improved the penalty scaling factor for AMS's discrete divergence term (which is
added to the matrix to robustly handle problems with pure void regions).
- Added threading to various routines in BoomerAMG.
- Fixed the SStructGridSetPeriodic() routine to work for all object types,
including HYPRE_PARCSR which previously did not work.
- Made two changes to GMRES: 1) Added GMRESSetSkipRealResidualCheck to skip the
evaluation and check of the final residual in GMRES. This can be useful in
situations where restart is not expected to be beneficial. 2) Independent of the
above, added a check to see if consecutive real GMRES residuals decrease (in the
"false convergence" case). If not, we conclude that restart leads to pollution
from round-off errors and exit GMRES.
- Implemented a CMake build system for the library and the test drivers.
#====================================
Version 2.8.0b released 2011/11/14
- Added the new Auxiliary-space Divergence Solver (ADS) which targets div-div
problems discretized with lowest order Raviart-Thomas "face" finite elements.
ADS is very similar to AMS, and in general its relationship to AMS is
analogous to the relationship between AMS and AMG.
- Added a redundant coarse-grid solve option to BoomerAMG, which can improve
solution times on machines with high communication latencies.
- Extended the AMS and ADS solvers to support (arbitrary) high-order H(curl) and
H(div) discretization methods. The high-order interface allows the users to
set directly the Nedelec and Raviart-Thomas interpolation matrices, which can
be used to precondition other types of discretizations (e.g. ones based on the
second family of Nedelec elements).
- Added a Euclid preconditioner option to the Fortran interfaces for the ParCSR
Krylov solvers.
- Fixed a bug with periodic problems in the SStruct interface.
- Fixed a bug in CGNR.
- Added a new higher order FEM example (ex16).
- Added visualization capabilities to the examples based on the GLVis package.
#====================================
Version 2.7.1a released 2011/03/18
- Fixed a long-standing O(P) memory allocation problem in the communication
setup routines for Struct.
- Fixed some OpenMP threading problems in Struct.
- Made some optimizations to the constant coefficient version of PFMG.
- Added a 64-bit version of Example 15 (file 'ex15big.c' in examples/)
#====================================
Version 2.7.0b released 2011/01/27
- Added a new --enable-bigint feature that, when turned on, requires the user to
pass integers of size 'long long int' to hypre and enables ParCSR matrices with
more than 2 billion unknowns (previously a limitation due to 32-bit integers).
This feature is currently not available in the FEI or babel sections of hypre.
Added example 'ex5big.c' as an illustration of how to use this new feature.
- Changed the Fortran interface to use a Fortran MPI communicator. Previously,
users were required to call HYPRE_MPI_Comm_f2c() to convert their Fortran
communicator to a C communicator. Fortran users will need to remove this call
from their code to use the new release.
- Added a new version of the l1-SGS smoother in BoomerAMG as a replacement for
relax type 8. This smoother behaves similarly to relax type 6 on matrices
with relatively small off-processor entries, but is guaranteed to always be
convergent. The new smoother is also available in AMS as relax type 4.
- Fixed some bugs in the coarsening routines for BoomerAMG.
- Relaxed the power-of-two restrictions for the PFMG and SysPFMG solvers. See
the reference manual for more details. SMG still requires a power-of-two.
- Fixed the constant-coefficient PFMG solvers. Also changed the non-Galerkin
scheme slightly for the constant-coefficient variable-diagonal PFMG solver to
simplify the code and enable easier threading.
- Fixed a bug in the Struct multigrid solvers for periodic problems when the
period is larger than the grid.
- Fixed some OpenMP problems in the Struct and SStruct code.
#====================================
Version 2.6.1a released 2010/03/30
- Made several bug fixes related to the new SetSharedPart() and FEM() routines:
Fixed a memory leak. Fixed to allow SetSharedPart() or SetNeighborPart()
calls from any processor, even if the processor doesn't own data on 'part'.
- Fixed a bug in the void-zone version of AMS, which sometimes produced a
non-symmetric preconditioner.
- Added new smoothers to BoomerAMG (Chebyshev, FCF-Jacobi, and CG) and
AMS (Chebyshev).
- Made some performance improvements to the implementation of the assumed
partition algorithm used in SStruct.
#====================================
Version 2.6.0b released 2010/02/04
- Added a new interface routine to SStruct called GridSetSharedPart() which is
used to describe how regions inside a part are shared with regions in other
parts in a block-structured grid setting. The routine is similar to
SetNeighborPart(), but allows more flexibility in finite-element settings.
- Added new finite element routines to the SStruct interface as an alternative
to using stencils: GridSetFEMOrdering(), GraphSetFEM(), GraphSetFEMSparsity(),
MatrixAddFEMValues(), and VectorAddFEMValues().
- Added new examples, ex13.c, ex14.c, and ex15.c, to illustrate the use of the
new SetSharedPart and FEM routines, the new rectangular matrix feature in
SStruct, and the use of the AMS solver through the SStruct interface.
- Removed support for SetNeighborBox() in the SStruct interface. This was
replaced by SetNeighborPart() in release 2.4.0b.
- Added the assumed partition algorithm to the implementation of the SStruct
interface to improve scaling at huge processor counts.
- Changed the behavior of IJMatrixSetValues so that it is deterministic and
consistent with the behavior of SStructMatrixSetValues when setting values
owned by other processors (a similar change was made to IJVectorSetValues).
- Added user documentation for building hypre under Windows.
- Added user and reference documentation for the LOBPCG eigensolver.
- Did some cleaning up in the 'configure' script.
- Changed to install only one hypre library now: libHYPRE.a (or libHYPRE.so).
- Added the release number to the hypre shared library soname and changed to
resolve all symbols in the shared library.
- Updated the non-babel fortran interface.
- Added configure options to explicitly set the mangling scheme for Fortran.
- Added a configure option to --disable-fortran for users who do not have a
working fortran compiler. This is most useful for Mac users.
- Improved threading for BoomerAMG.
#====================================
Version 2.5.0a released, 2009/10/12.
- Added new 2-stage interpolation operators to be used with aggressive
coarsening.
- Added a new routine HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetMaxCoarseSize that allows to set the
maximal system size on the coarsest level.
- Added a "recompute residual" option to PCG which makes it behave like a
"restarted CG". This, can be useful in high-accuracy computation where the
CG residuals drift from r = b - Ax.
- Added a residual-based stopping criteria in PCG for high-accuracy
computations.
- Added a Fortran interface for AMS.
- Initial release of a more robust version of AMS for singular problems with
zero-conductivity regions. This requires a list of the interior nodes in the
zero conductivity regions and uses a periodic projection onto a compatible
subspace.
- Added Distributed SuperLU in the FEI.
- Added support for multiple right-hand-sides in the FEI.
- Added C and Fortran nodal versions of Example 1: ex12.c and ex12f.f.
- Added a LOBPCG example: /examples/ex11.c.
- Removed the make uninstall option.
- The HTML version of the reference manual is no longer part of the hypre
distribution. However, it can still be generated by typing make in the docs/
directory (requires doc++).
#====================================
Version 2.4.0b released 2008/08/08
- Fixed some Fortran interface bugs.
- Added two additional Krylov solvers: Flexible GMRES and LGMRES
- Added a fortran example: /examples/ex5f.f
- Updated SuperLU to version 3.0
- Improved relaxation options in AMS.
- Changed 'make clean' to erase the hypre/ directory.
- Fixed a bug in preconditioned BiCGStab.
#====================================
Version 2.3.2a released, 2008/05/08.
- Fixed a couple of bugs associated with SStructGridSetNeighborPart.
- Added absolute convergence tolerance stopping criteria to GMRES, CG, and
BiCGStab (See HYPRE_GMRESSetAbsoluteTolerance, HYPRE_PCGSetAbsoluteTolerance,
or HYPRE_BiCGSTABSetAbsoluteTolerance in the reference manual for details).
- Updated error checking for CG and BiCGStab.
- Fixed a bug in AMG when the maximum number of levels is set to 1.
- Added two new solver types to AMS: a Hiptmair-like smoother (type 0), and
one based on a block 4x4 coarse-grid matrix (type 20).
#====================================
Version 2.3.1a released, 2008/01/31.
- A bug fix (uninitialized variables introduced when AMS was added to
the FEI preconditioner list).
- Fixed a memory allocation bug in new SStruct SetNeighborPart feature.
- Added a new option for the Schwarz smoothers
(HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetSchwarzUseNonSymm and HYPRE_SchwarzSetNonSymm) to use LU
instead of Cholesky LAPACK functions to invert the matrix blocks.
- Fixed a bug with the Schwarz smoothers and the ESSL compile.
#====================================
Version 2.3.0a released, 2008/01/28.
- Completed the implementation of SStructGridSetNeighborBox to work for all
variable types (not just cell-centered). In the process, we discovered that
the interface design for this routine can result in ambiguous coordinate
transformations between parts, so the new SetNeighborPart routine (below)
should be used instead.
- Introduced the SStructGridSetNeighborPart routine. Users migrating from
SetNeighborBox to this new routine only need to change the name ("Box" to
"Part") and append an additional argument 'index_dir'. See the reference
manual for details.
- The SStructSplit solver can now be used as a standalone solver (before, it
could only be used as a preconditioner). Added HYPRE_Jacobi as an option to
SetStructSolver.
- Added Get(Box)Values routines for Struct/SStruct Matrix.
- Added nodal interpolation schemes to BoomerAMG for systems problems.
- Added capability to change Euclid runtime parameters using individual
functions.
- Improved use of Euclid as smoother in BoomerAMG.
- Fixed two potential bugs in BoomerAMG.
- Fixed a major bug with the OpenMP code in hypre (beginning with v1.7.5b,
OpenMP support was effectively disabled in the code). Also made several
additional OpenMP changes/fixes.
#====================================
Version 2.2.0b released, 2007/09/20.
- Renovate the FEI block preconditioner which will be useful for ALE3D
simulation of mixed variable type problem
#====================================
Version 2.1.0a released, 2007/06/25.
- Added the CGC and CGC-E coarsening algorithms, which have been developed
and implemented by Michael Griebel, Bram Metsch and Alex Schweitzer of
the University of Bonn.
- Added several new solver types to AMS and improved the AMS/FEI integration.
- Better handling of the relative change test in GMRES.
- Improved weights for Struct and SStruct weighted Jacobi.
- Added a 'make check' target that does a simple code verification test.
- Added truncation for interpolation according to the number of elements to the
ParCSR Hybrid AMG Solver.
- Renovated the hypre fei implementation for use in ARES.
#====================================
Version 2.0.0 released, 2006/12/15.
- Minor documentation updates.
#====================================
Version 1.14.0b released, 2006/11/30.
- Added python support to Babel interface.
- Changed the name of several internal header files to use the '_hypre_' prefix.
This should not affect most users, since these are internal headers.
- Added AME, a new Maxwell eigensolver based on AMS and LOBPCG.
- Changes to Struct code to hopefully improve efficiency of MG solver setup.
- Efficiency improvements for new long-range interpolation algorithms in
BoomerAMG, including:
* extended interpolation is now like modified, i.e no absolute values
* added an extended interpolation which only extends when there are no
common coarse neighbors
* changed standard interpolation to only extend at strong F neighbors
(instead of all neighbors) for better efficiency
#====================================
Version 1.13.0b released, 2006/10/03.
- Babel-based interface updated to Babel version 1.0.0, plus various
improvements, such as an interface to the hypre error handler. Pre-built
interfaces are included for C, Fortran, and C++.
- Various modifications to BoomerAMG:
* Eliminated the possibility to set relaxation on the finest grid
* Added various new long-range interpolation algorithms: standard (with and
without weight separation), extended, and F-F interpolation. These routines
will improve convergence for the low complexity coarsening algorithms PMIS
and HMIS.
* Added the possibility to set a maximal number of weights per row <n> when
truncating the interpolation operator. When this option is used, only the
absolutely largest <n> weights per row are kept.
- Modifications to the fac user interface to permit easier problem set up.
- Shared libraries can be built by using the --enable-shared option when
configuring. NOTE: the directory where the shared libraries reside MUST be
defined in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
- Incorporated the GNU Lesser General Public License.
- Now using Roundup for issue tracking; send email to hypre-support@llnl.gov
#====================================
Version 1.12.0a released, 2006/07/26.
- First release of AMS, a new solver for (semi)definite Maxwell problems.
- First release of Maxwell, a semi-structured Maxwell solver.
- Modifications to the fac user interface to permit easier set up of the problem.
#====================================
Version 1.11.1b released, 2006/05/30.
- Corrected FEI build to allow user to specify a system FEI and build internal
HYPRE routines.
#====================================
Version 1.11.0b released, 2006/04/24.
- Added configure option --without-FEI to disable build of internal FEI
routines.
- Added a new system for handling error codes in hypre.
- Added configure option --print-errors to enable printing of HYPRE error
messages.
- Modified configure to only depend on having a C compiler available.
- Added compatible relaxation on one processor.
- Updated all F90_HYPRE_* files to be consistent with HYPRE_* files.
- Updated ex5.c to include:
* an option to print the system matrix and rhs
* a description of how to read in a matrix and rhs in IJ format.
- Corrected error that occurred when more than one Euclid solver object is used
at the same time
- Added Maxwell capabilities via Sandia's ML solvers; see details in
FEI_mv/fei-hypre/CHANGELOG.
- Replaced PILUT with Euclid in test code sstruct.c.
#====================================
Version 1.10.0b released, 2005/12/19.
- configure updates
* always runs --without-blas --without-lapack unless otherwise specified
* cross-compiling enabled
* added --with-no-global-partition option
- makefile updates
* changed eigensolvers subdirectory to multivector
- Added a set of simple example codes covering the Struct, SStruct and IJ
interfaces. See README.html in the examples subdirectory for more details.
- The --with-no-global-partition option was added to reduce storage and improve
run times on very large numbers of processors (such as BlueGene/L). Currently
only the IJ interface solvers have been optimized. For small or modest
numbers of processors (typically < 1000-5000 depending on the machine), this
option is not needed (and will likely be slower).
- Added aggressive coarsening, which can be applied to all available coarsening
schemes (via HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetNumAggLevels and HYPRE_BoomerAMGSetNumPaths)
- Added multipass interpolation and direct interpolation.
- Added the capability of nodal coarsening for systems AMG.
- expanded coverage of Babel-based interface
#====================================
Version 1.9.0b released, 2005/02/10.
- Added updated LOBPCG source code and test files.
- Added a vector Laplace problem for testing systems AMG.
- Added FAC to semi-struct
#====================================
Version 1.9.0a released, 2005/01/18.
- NOTE: Link lines may need to be changed depending on configure options used.
- The build system introduced in v1.8.3a was too difficult to maintain, so we
have reverted to a system similar to the previous one. In particular, all of
the new automake and libtool stuff was removed. In the new system, each
directory (except 'config') has ONLY a 'Makefile' (no more 'Makefile.in' or
'Makefile.am' files). When the 'configure' script is run, the single file
'config/Makefile.config' is created. This file is included in all Makefiles
in all sub-directories. Shared libraries CANNOT be created with this system.
- The makefile targets are now more inline with GNU standards. To get details,
type 'make help'.
- The makefile target 'nofei' has been removed and is now run by default.
- The library files 'libHYPRE_blas.a' and 'libHYPRE_lapack.a' are no longer
created when 'configure' is run '--without-blas' and/or '--without-lapack'.
This created confusion before and really didn't make sense anyway. These
options are now consistent with the '--without-MPI' option. Also, there is
no longer any danger of name conflicts with external blas or lapack libraries
as was the case before.
- Added new parallel coarsening schemes PMIS and HMIS with reduced complexities
as well as the option of using one pass of Ruge-Stueben only.
- Added the capability to set values from any processor through the IJ matrix
