mkl_sparse_?_create_csc

Creates a handle for a matrix in CSC format.

Syntax

stat = mkl_sparse_s_create_csc ( A, indexing, rows, cols, cols_start, cols_end, row_indx, values )

stat = mkl_sparse_d_create_csc ( A, indexing, rows, cols, cols_start, cols_end, row_indx, values )

stat = mkl_sparse_c_create_csc ( A, indexing, rows, cols, cols_start, cols_end, row_indx, values )

stat = mkl_sparse_z_create_csc ( A, indexing, rows, cols, cols_start, cols_end, row_indx, values )

Description

The mkl_sparse_?_create_csc routine creates a handle for an \(m\) -by- \(k\) matrix \(A\) in Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) format and fills it with user provided data arrays.

NOTE:

The input arrays provided are left unchanged except for the call to mkl_sparse_order , which performs ordering of column indexes of the matrix. To avoid any changes to the input data, use mkl_sparse_copy .

Input Parameters

indexing

sparse_index_base_t .

Indicates how input arrays are indexed:

`SPARSE_INDEX_BASE_ZERO`	Zero-based (C-style) indexing: indices start at 0.
`SPARSE_INDEX_BASE_ONE`	One-based (Fortran-style) indexing: indices start at 1.

rows

C_INT .

Number of rows of matrix A .

cols

C_INT .

Number of columns of matrix A .

cols_start

C_INT .

Array of length \(cols\) for 4-array format and \(cols + 1\) for 3-array format.

This array contains offset indices, such that cols_start(i) - ind is the first index of column \(i\) in the arrays values and row_indx.

Here, ind takes a value of \(0\) for zero-based indexing and \(1\) for one-based indexing. Refer to pointerB array description in CSC Format for more details.

cols_end

C_INT .

Array of length \(cols\) for 4-array format and NULL or a dummy array for 3-array format.

This array contains offset indices, such that cols_end(i) - ind is one past the last index of column \(i\) in the arrays values and row_indx.

Here, ind takes a value of \(0\) for zero-based indexing and \(1\) for one-based indexing. Refer to pointerE array description in CSC Format for more details.

row_indx

C_INT .

For one-based indexing, array containing the row indices plus one for each non-zero element of the matrix A . For zero-based indexing, array containing the row indices for each non-zero element of the matrix A .

Its length is at least the number of elements stored, which can be computed as cols_end(cols - 1) - ind.

Here, ind takes a value of \(0\) for zero-based indexing and \(1\) for one-based indexing.

values

`C_FLOAT`	for `mkl_sparse_s_create_csc`
`C_DOUBLE`	for `mkl_sparse_d_create_csc`
`C_FLOAT_COMPLEX`	for `mkl_sparse_c_create_csc`
`C_DOUBLE_COMPLEX`	for `mkl_sparse_z_create_csc`

Array containing all stored elements (non-zeros and explicit zeros) of the matrix A . Its length is equal to length of the row_indx array. Refer to values array description in CSC Format for more details.

Output Parameters

A: SPARSE_MATRIX_T. Handle containing internal data.

stat

INTEGER

Value indicating whether the operation was successful, and if not, why:

`SPARSE_STATUS_SUCCESS`	The operation was successful.
`SPARSE_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED`	The routine encountered an empty handle or matrix array.
`SPARSE_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED`	Internal memory allocation failed.
`SPARSE_STATUS_INVALID_VALUE`	The input parameters contain an invalid value.
`SPARSE_STATUS_EXECUTION_FAILED`	Execution failed.
`SPARSE_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR`	An error in algorithm implementation occurred.
`SPARSE_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED`	The requested operation is not supported.

Return Values
