Synopsis

TiledArray is a scalable, block-sparse tensor library that is designed to aid in rapid composition of high-performance tensor expressions, appearing for example in many-body quantum mechanics. It allows users to compose tensor expressions of arbitrary complexity in native C++ code that closely resembles the standard mathematical notation. The library is designed to scale from a single multicore computer to a massive cluster.

TiledArray is a work in progress.

Design Goals

• Simple implementation of tensor algebra in C++
• Dense, and structured/unstructured sparse tensors
• Intra- and inter-node scalability
• General purpose

Example Code

The following are example expressions written in C++ with TiledArray. TiledArray use the Einstein summation convention when evaluating tensor expressions.

• Matrix-matrix multiplication

C("m,n") = 2.0 * A("m,k") * B("k,n");

• Matrix-vector multiplication

C("n") = A("k") * B("k,n");

• Complex tensor expression

E("m,n") = 2.0 * A("m,k") * B("k,n") + C("k,n") * D("k,m");

Developers

TiledArray is developed by the Valeev Group at Virginia Tech.
