Sparse computation (WIP) | ||
======================== | ||
Sparse computation | ||
================== | ||
|
||
.. warning:: | ||
The LLVM backends (CPU/CUDA) offer full functionality of spatially sparse computation in Taichi. | ||
|
||
The Taichi compiler backend is under migration from source-to-source compilation to LLVM for compilation speed and portability. | ||
Sparse computation with the new LLVM backend is not yet fully implemented on multithreaded CPUs and GPUs. | ||
Please read our `paper <https://yuanming.taichi.graphics/publication/2019-taichi/taichi-lang.pdf>`_, watch the `introduction video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKw8LMF3Djo>`_, or check out | ||
the SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 `slides <https://yuanming.taichi.graphics/publication/2019-taichi/taichi-lang-slides.pdf>`_ for more details on sparse computation. | ||

If you are interested in sparse computation in Taichi, please read our `paper <http://taichi.graphics/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/taichi_lang.pdf>`_, watch the `introduction video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKw8LMF3Djo>`_, or check out | ||

|
||
The legacy source-to-source backend (commit ``dc162e11``) provides full sparse computation functionality. However, since little engineering has been done to make that commit portable (i.e. easy to compile on different platforms), | ||
we suggest waiting until the LLVM version of sparse computation is fully implemented. | ||
|
||
Sparse computation functionalities with the new LLVM backend will be back online by the end of December 2019. | ||
`Taichi elements <https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi_elements>`_ implements an high-performance MLS-MPM solver on Taichi's sparse grids. |
