SparseMultiplyAdd(_:_:_:_:)

Performs the multiply operation y += alpha * Ax on a vector of double-precision, floating-point values.

Declaration

func SparseMultiplyAdd(_ alpha: Double, _ A: SparseMatrix_Double, _ x: DenseVector_Double, _ y: DenseVector_Double)

Parameters

  • alpha:

    The scalar value alpha in y += alpha * Ax.

  • A:

    The sparse matrix A in y += Ax.

  • x:

    The dense vector x in y += Ax.

  • y:

    The dense vector y in y += Ax.

Discussion

Use this function to multiply a scalar by a sparse matrix, then by a dense vector, and accumulate the result. The following equation is an example of a matrix-vector multiplication where the matrix is sparse:

Call SparseMultiplyAdd(_:_:_:_:) to calculate the result.

let rowCount = Int32(4)
let columnCount = Int32(4)
let blockCount = 4
let blockSize = UInt8(1)
let rowIndices: [Int32] = [0, 3, 0, 3]
let columnIndices: [Int32] = [0, 0, 3, 3]
let data = [1.0, 4.0, 13.0, 16.0]

/// The _A_ in _y+=Ax_.
let A = SparseConvertFromCoordinate(rowCount, columnCount,
                                    blockCount, blockSize,
                                    SparseAttributes_t(),
                                    rowIndices, columnIndices,
                                    data)
defer {
    SparseCleanup(A)
}

/// The values for _x_ in _y+=Ax_.
var xValues = [10.0, -1.0, -1.0, 10.0]

var yValues = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

let alpha = 2.0

/// The values for _y_ in _y+=Ax_.
yValues.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { yValuesPtr in
    
    xValues.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { xValuesPtr in
        /// The _x_ in _y+=Ax_.
        let x = DenseVector_Double(count: 4,
                                   data: xValuesPtr.baseAddress!)
        
        /// The _y_ in _y+=Ax_.
        let y = DenseVector_Double(count: 4,
                                   data: yValuesPtr.baseAddress!)
        
        SparseMultiplyAdd(alpha, A, x, y)
    }
}

/// On return, `yValues` contains:
///      `[ 281.0, 1.0, 1.0, 401.0 ]`
