# MPSMatrixSolveCholesky

A kernel for computing the solution of a linear system of equations using a Cholesky factorization.

## Declaration

```swift
class MPSMatrixSolveCholesky
```

## Overview

Overview This kernel finds the solution matrix to the system AX=B, where: A is a symmetric positive-definite matrix X is the resulting matrix of solutions B is the array of right-hand-sides for which the equations are to be solved
