# gemm#

Computes a sparse matrix times dense matrix product.

Description and Assumptions

Refer to Supported Types for a list of supported <fp> and <intType> types. The oneapi::mkl::sparse::gemm routine computes a sparse matrix-dense matrix product defined as

$C \leftarrow \alpha \cdot \text{op}(A) \cdot \text{op}(B) + \beta \cdot C$

where $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ are scalars, $$A$$ is a sparse matrix, $$B$$ and $$C$$ are dense matrices, $$\text{op}()$$ is a matrix modifier for $$A$$ and $$B$$ using the following description:

$\begin{split}\text{op}(A) = \begin{cases} A,& \text{ oneapi::mkl::transpose::nontrans}\\ A^{T},& \text{ oneapi::mkl::transpose::trans}\\A^{H},& \text{ oneapi::mkl::transpose::conjtrans} \end{cases}\end{split}$

and $$\text{op}(A)$$ is an m-by-k matrix , $$\text{op}(B)$$ is an k-by-columns matrix, and $$C$$ is an m-by-columns matrix.

Dense matrix storage is in either row-major or column-major format. Sparse matrix formats are compressed sparse row (CSR) formats.

Input parameters

ldb

Specifies the leading dimension of matrix $$B$$. It must be positive.

B not transposed

B transposed

Row major

ldb must be at least columns.

ldb must be at least k.

Column major

Specifies the scalar beta.

C

The dense matrix input/output array. A one-dimensional SYCL memory object containing an array of size at least m*ldc if row_major layout is used to store dense matrices or at least ldc*columns if column_major layout is used to store dense matrices.

ldc

Specifies the leading dimension of matrix $$C$$. Must be positive and at least columns if row major layout is used to store dense matrices or at least m if column major layout is used to store dense matrices.
