Description

Use the Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block to perform singular value decomposition (SVD) on square matrices using the two-sided Jacobi algorithm. Given a square matrix A, the Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block uses the two-sided Jacobi method to produce a vector s of nonnegative elements and unitary matrices U and V such that A = U*diag(s)*V'.

Note

For non-square matrices, use the Non-Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block.

This example shows how to use the Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of square matrices.

Two-Sided Jacobi SVD

The Square Jacobi HDL Optimized block uses the two-sided Jacobi algorithm to perform singular value decomposition. Given an input square matrix A, the block first computes the two-by-two SVD for off-diagonal elements, then applies the rotation to the A, U, and V matrices. Because the Jacobi algorithm can perform such computations in parallel, it is suitable for FPGA and ASIC applications. For more information, see Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized.

Define Simulation Parameters

Specify the dimension of the sample matrices, the number of input sample matrices, and the number of iterations of the Jacobi algorithm.

n = 8;
numSamples = 3;
nIterations = 10;

Generate Input A Matrices

Use the specified simulation parameters to generate the input matrix A.

rng('default');
A = randn(n,n,numSamples);

The Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block supports both real and complex inputs. Set the complexity of the input in the block mask accordingly.

% A = complex(randn(n,n,numSamples),randn(n,n,numSamples));

Select Fixed-Point Data Types

Define the desired word length.

wordLength = 32;

Use the upper bound on the singular values to define fixed-point types that will never overflow. First, use the fixed.singularValueUpperBound function to determine the upper bound on the singular values.

svdUpperBound = fixed.singularValueUpperBound(n,n,max(abs(A(:))));

Define the integer length based on the value of the upper bound, with one additional bit for the sign, another additional bit for intermediate CORDIC growth, and one more bit for intermediate growth to compute the Jacobi rotations.

additionalBitGrowth = 3;
integerLength = ceil(log2(svdUpperBound)) + additionalBitGrowth;

Compute the fraction length based on the integer length and the desired word length.

fractionLength = wordLength - integerLength;

Define the signed fixed-point data type to be 'Fixed' or 'ScaledDouble'. You can also define the type to be 'double' or 'single'.

dataType = 'Fixed';
T.A = fi([],1,wordLength,fractionLength,'DataType',dataType);
disp(T.A)

[]

          DataTypeMode: Fixed-point: binary point scaling
            Signedness: Signed
            WordLength: 32
        FractionLength: 24

Cast the matrix A to the signed fixed-point type.

A = cast(A,'like',T.A);

Configure Model Workspace and Run Simulation

model = 'SquareJacobiSVDModel';
open_system(model);
fixed.example.setModelWorkspace(model,'A',A,'n',n,...
    'nIterations',nIterations,'numSamples',numSamples);
out = sim(model);

Verify Output Solutions

Verify the output solutions. In these steps, "identical" means within roundoff error.

  1. Verify that U*diag(s)*V' is identical to A. relativeErrorUSV represents the relative error between U*diag(s)*V' and A.

  2. Verify that the singular values s are identical to the floating-point SVD solution. relativeErrorS represents the relative error between s and the singular values calculated by the MATLAB® svd function.

  3. Verify that U and V are unitary matrices. relativeErrorUU represents the relative error between U'*U and the identity matrix. relativeErrorVV represents the relative error between V'*V and the identity matrix.

for i = 1:numSamples
    disp(['Sample #',num2str(i),':']);
    a = A(:,:,i);
    U = out.U(:,:,i);
    V = out.V(:,:,i);
    s = out.s(:,:,i);

    % Verify U*diag(s)*V'
    if norm(double(a)) > 1
        relativeErrorUSV = norm(double(U*diag(s)*V')-double(a))/norm(double(a));
    else
        relativeErrorUSV = norm(double(U*diag(s)*V')-double(a));
    end
    relativeErrorUSV %#ok

    % Verify s
    s_expected = svd(double(a));
    normS = norm(s_expected);
    relativeErrorS = norm(double(s) - s_expected);
    if normS > 1
        relativeErrorS = relativeErrorS/normS;
    end
    relativeErrorS %#ok

    % Verify U'*U
    U = double(U);
    UU = U'*U;
    relativeErrorUU = norm(UU - eye(size(UU))) %#ok

    % Verify V'*V
    V = double(V);
    VV = V'*V;
    relativeErrorVV = norm(VV - eye(size(VV))) %#ok

    disp('---------------');

Ports

Input

expand all

Square n-by-n matrix A, specified as a real or complex square matrix.

If the matrix A has a fixed-point data type, the matrix must use signed binary-point scaling. Slope and bias scaling and unsigned fixed-point types are not supported.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Whether input is valid, specified as a Boolean scalar. This control signal indicates when the data from the A input port is valid. When this value is 1 (true) and the value at ready is 1 (true), the block captures the values at the A input port. When this value is 0 (false), the block ignores the input samples.

After sending a true validIn signal, a delay may occur before the ready signal is false. To ensure all data is processed, you must wait until the ready signal is false before sending another true validIn signal.

Data Types: Boolean

Whether downstream block is ready, specified as a Boolean scalar. This control signal monitors the ready port of the downstream block. When the readyIn value is 1 (true), and the value at validOut is 1 (true), the block outputs data to the downstream block. When the readyIn value is 0 (false), the downstream block is not ready to accept data. The Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block pauses on the output stage and the ready signal remains 0 (false) until the readyIn signal is high.

Data Types: Boolean

Whether to clear internal states, specified as a Boolean scalar. When this value is 1 (true), the block stops the current calculation and clears all internal states. When this value is 0 (false) and the validIn value is 1 (true), the block begins a new subframe.

Data Types: Boolean

Output

expand all

Singular values, returned as a column vector of length n. The Singular Values are nonnegative and returned in descending order such that s(1) >= s(2) >= ... >= s(n). Singular values are returned with the same data type as the input matrix A.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Left singular vectors, returned as a unitary n-by-n matrix.

For fixed-point and scaled-double inputs, U is returned as a signed fixed-point or scaled-double fi with the same word length as A and fraction length equal to two less than the word length. One of these integer bits is used for the sign. The other integer bit allows +1 to be represented exactly.

For floating-point input, U has the same data type as A.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Right singular vectors, returned as a unitary n-by-n matrix.

For fixed-point and scaled-double inputs, V is returned as a signed fixed-point or scaled-double fi with the same word length as A and fraction length equal to two less than the word length. One of these integer bits is used for the sign. The other integer bit allows +1 to be represented exactly.

For floating-point input, V has the same data type as A.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Whether the output data is valid, returned as a Boolean scalar. This control signal indicates when the data at the output ports U, S, and V are valid. When this value is 1 (true), the output data is valid. When this value is 0 (false), the output data is not valid. Transfer of data to the downstream block occurs only when both the validOut and readyIn signals are high.

Data Types: Boolean

Whether the block is ready, returned as a Boolean scalar. This control signal indicates when the block is ready for new input data. When this value is 1 (true) and the validIn value is 1 (true), the block accepts input data in the next time step. When this value is 0 (false), the block ignores input data in the next time step.

After sending a true validIn signal, there may be some delay before the ready signal is false. To ensure all data is processed, you must wait until the ready signal is false before sending another true validIn signal.

Tips

  • The Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block computes the singular value decomposition in place. Set the fixed-point data type of the input n-by-n matrix A with enough precision and enough headroom to avoid overflow.

    First, use the fixed.singularValueUpperBound function to determine the upper bound on the singular values. Then define the integer length based on the value of the upper bound, with one additional bit for the sign, another additional bit for intermediate CORDIC growth, and one more bit for intermediate growth to compute the Jacobi rotations. Compute the fraction length based on the integer length and the desired word length.

    svdUpperBound = fixed.singularValueUpperBound(n,n,max(abs(A(:))))
additionalBitGrowth = 3;
integerLength = ceil(log2(svdUpperBound)) + additionalBitGrowth
wordLength = 16
fractionLength = wordLength - integerLength

  • The behavior of the Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block is equivalent to [U,s,V] = fixed.jacobiSVD(A) when A is a square matrix. If the input data type is fixed point with binary-point scaling, the function and the block provide bit-exact results. However, if the input data type is floating point, small numerical differences may exist between the function and the block.

    The Number of Jacobi iterations block parameter is equivalent to the numberOfSweeps input argument for the fixed.jacobiSVD function.

  • The behavior of the Square Jacobi SVD HDL Optimized block is equivalent to [U,s,V] = fixed.svd(A,'econ','vector') when A is a square matrix.
