Syntax

sparse_status_t mkl_sparse_set_mv_hint (const sparse_matrix_t A, const sparse_operation_t operation, const struct matrix_descr descr, const MKL_INT expected_calls);

Include Files

• mkl_spblas.h

Description

Use the mkl_sparse_set_mv_hint routine to provide the Inspector-executor Sparse BLAS API an estimate of the number of upcoming matrix-vector multiplication operations for performance optimization, and specify whether or not to perform an operation on the matrix.

Input Parameters

operation

Specifies operation op() on input matrix.

SPARSE_OPERATION_NON_TRANSPOSE	Non-transpose, op(A) = A.
SPARSE_OPERATION_TRANSPOSE	Transpose, op(A) = AT.
SPARSE_OPERATION_CONJUGATE_TRANSPOSE	Conjugate transpose, op(A) = AH.

descr

Structure specifying sparse matrix properties.

sparse_matrix_type_t type - Specifies the type of a sparse matrix:

SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_GENERAL	The matrix is processed as is.
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_SYMMETRIC	The matrix is symmetric (only the requested triangle is processed).
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_HERMITIAN	The matrix is Hermitian (only the requested triangle is processed).
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_TRIANGULAR	The matrix is triangular (only the requested triangle is processed).
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_DIAGONAL	The matrix is diagonal (only diagonal elements are processed).
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_BLOCK_TRIANGULAR	The matrix is block-triangular (only requested triangle is processed). Applies to BSR format only.
SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_BLOCK_DIAGONAL	The matrix is block-diagonal (only diagonal blocks are processed). Applies to BSR format only.

sparse_fill_mode_t mode - Specifies the triangular matrix part for symmetric, Hermitian, triangular, and block-triangular matrices:

SPARSE_FILL_MODE_LOWER	The lower triangular matrix part is processed.
SPARSE_FILL_MODE_UPPER	The upper triangular matrix part is processed.

sparse_diag_type_t diag - Specifies diagonal type for non-general matrices:

SPARSE_DIAG_NON_UNIT	Diagonal elements might not be equal to one.
SPARSE_DIAG_UNIT	Diagonal elements are equal to one.

expected_calls

Number of expected calls to execution routine.

Output Parameters

A

Handle containing internal data.

Return Values

The function returns a value indicating whether the operation was successful or not, and why.
