rocSOLVER Types#

rocSOLVER uses most types and enumerations defined in rocBLAS for the general operation and dense matrix computations, and some defined in rocSPARSE for sparse matrix computations (direct solvers). For more information, see the rocBLAS types and rocSPARSE types documentation. Next we present additional types, only used in rocSOLVER, that extend the rocBLAS and rocSPARSE APIs.

Additional types#

rocblas_direct#

enum rocblas_direct#

Used to specify the order in which multiple Householder matrices are applied together.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_forward_direction#

Householder matrices applied from the right.

enumerator rocblas_backward_direction#

Householder matrices applied from the left.

rocblas_storev#

enum rocblas_storev#

Used to specify how householder vectors are stored in a matrix of vectors.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_column_wise#

Householder vectors are stored in the columns of a matrix.

enumerator rocblas_row_wise#

Householder vectors are stored in the rows of a matrix.

rocblas_svect#

enum rocblas_svect#

Used to specify how the singular vectors are to be computed and stored.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_svect_all#

The entire associated orthogonal/unitary matrix is computed.

enumerator rocblas_svect_singular#

Only the singular vectors are computed and stored in output array.

enumerator rocblas_svect_overwrite#

Only the singular vectors are computed and overwrite the input matrix.

enumerator rocblas_svect_none#

No singular vectors are computed.

rocblas_srange#

enum rocblas_srange#

Used to specify the type of range in which singular values will be found in partial singular value decompositions.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_srange_all#

All singular values will be found.

enumerator rocblas_srange_value#

All singular values in the half-open interval \((vl, vu]\) will be found.

enumerator rocblas_srange_index#

The \(il\)-th through \(iu\)-th singular values will be found.

rocblas_evect#

enum rocblas_evect#

Used to specify how the eigenvectors are to be computed.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_evect_original#

Compute eigenvectors for the original symmetric/Hermitian matrix.

enumerator rocblas_evect_tridiagonal#

Compute eigenvectors for the symmetric tridiagonal matrix.

enumerator rocblas_evect_none#

No eigenvectors are computed.

rocblas_workmode#

enum rocblas_workmode#

Used to enable the use of fast algorithms (with out-of-place computations) in some of the routines.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_outofplace#

Out-of-place computations are allowed; this requires extra device memory for workspace.

enumerator rocblas_inplace#

If not enough memory is available, this forces in-place computations.

rocblas_eform#

enum rocblas_eform#

Used to specify the form of the generalized eigenproblem.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_eform_ax#

The problem is \(Ax = \lambda Bx\).

enumerator rocblas_eform_abx#

The problem is \(ABx = \lambda x\).

enumerator rocblas_eform_bax#

The problem is \(BAx = \lambda x\).

rocblas_erange#

enum rocblas_erange#

Used to specify the type of range in which eigenvalues will be found in partial eigenvalue decompositions.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_erange_all#

All eigenvalues will be found.

enumerator rocblas_erange_value#

All eigenvalues in the half-open interval \((vl, vu]\) will be found.

enumerator rocblas_erange_index#

The \(il\)-th through \(iu\)-th eigenvalues will be found.

rocblas_eorder#

enum rocblas_eorder#

Used to specify whether the eigenvalues are grouped and ordered by blocks.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_eorder_blocks#

The computed eigenvalues will be grouped by split-off blocks and arranged in increasing order within each block.

enumerator rocblas_eorder_entire#

All computed eigenvalues of the entire matrix will be ordered from smallest to largest.

rocblas_esort#

enum rocblas_esort#

Used in the Jacobi methods to specify whether the eigenvalues are sorted in increasing order.

Values:

enumerator rocblas_esort_none#

The computed eigenvalues will not be sorted.

enumerator rocblas_esort_ascending#

The computed eigenvalues will be sorted in ascending order.

rocblas_layer_mode_flags#

typedef uint32_t rocblas_layer_mode_flags#

Used to specify the logging layer mode using a bitwise combination of rocblas_layer_mode values.

rocsolver_rfinfo#

typedef struct rocsolver_rfinfo_ *rocsolver_rfinfo#

A handle to a structure containing matrix descriptors and metadata required to interact with rocSPARSE when using the rocSOLVER re-factorization functionality. It needs to be initialized with rocsolver_create_rfinfo and destroyed with rocsolver_destroy_rfinfo.

rocsolver_rfinfo_mode#

enum rocsolver_rfinfo_mode#

Used to specify the mode of the rfinfo struct required by the re-factorization functionality.

Values:

enumerator rocsolver_rfinfo_mode_lu#

To work with LU factorization (for general sparse matrices). This is the default mode.

enumerator rocsolver_rfinfo_mode_cholesky#

To work with Cholesky factorization (for symmetric positive definite sparse matrices).
