Additional notes

• The rocSPARSE library is LP64, so rocsparse_int arguments are 32 bit and rocsparse_long arguments are 64 bit.

• rocSPARSE supports 0 and 1 based indexing. The index base is selected by rocsparse_index_base type which is either passed as standalone parameter or part of the rocsparse_mat_descr type.

• Dense vectors are represented with a 1D array stored linearly in memory.

• Sparse vectors are represented with a 1D data array stored linearly in memory that holds all non-zero elements and a 1D indexing array stored linearly in memory that holds the positions of the corresponding non-zero elements.

• The auxiliary functions rocsparse_set_pointer and rocsparse_get_pointer are used to set and get the value of the state variable rocsparse_pointer_mode. If rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_host, then scalar parameters must be allocated on the host. If rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_device, then scalar parameters must be allocated on the device.

  There are two types of scalar parameter:

  1. Scaling parameters, such as alpha and beta used in e.g. csrmv, coomv, ...
  2. Scalar results from functions such as doti, dotci, ...

  For scalar parameters such as alpha and beta, memory can be allocated on the host heap or stack, when rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_host. The kernel launch is asynchronous, and if the scalar parameter is on the heap, it can be freed after the return from the kernel launch. When rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_device, the scalar parameter must not be changed till the kernel completes.

  For scalar results, when rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_host, then the function blocks the CPU till the GPU has copied the result back to the host. Using rocsparse_pointer_mode == rocsparse_pointer_mode_device, the function will return after the asynchronous launch. Similarly to vector and matrix results, the scalar result is only available when the kernel has completed execution.
