Detailed Description

        The reference documentation of the librsb library comes in both HTML and Unix man pages
       formats.
        The following sections/man pages are available: The librsb library interface (rsb.h,
       optional ones rsb.hpp and rsb.F90) ; The Sparse BLAS interface to librsb (blas_sparse.h,
       rsb_blas_sparse.F90) ; Example programs and code.

       In general, users of this library are interested in high performance sparse matrix
       computations on cache based shared memory parallel computers.
        For this, librsb offers a native C interface (here documented) and a Fortran one (in
       rsb.F90, equivalent to the C declaration headers from rsb.h), in addition to the Sparse
       BLAS one (both C and Fortran, documented).
        Please refer to optional <rsb.hpp> for the C++ API.

       Configuration, build, and installation instructions are contained in the README file
       distributed in the sources archive.

        Typical C program structure

       • initialize librsb with rsb_lib_init()
       • (in any order) allocate matrices (e.g.: with rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_inplace() or
         others); do any computation with them (e.g.: rsb_spmv(), rsb_spsv() ); converting
         matrices (e.g.: with rsb_mtx_switch_to_coo() ); freeing matrices (rsb_mtx_free() )
       • finalize librsb with rsb_lib_exit()
        Important usage notes
        General C program structure  Before calling any librsb function, a program is required to
       initialize librsb's internal status. This is done by calling rsb_lib_init() . Afterwards,
       any librsb function can be safely used. When librsb functions are not intended to be
       called anymore, a program may call rsb_lib_exit() to free any resource. Then,
       rsb_lib_init() should be called for further usage of librsb.
        Manipulating matrices and vectors  In order to use librsb, the user is not required to
       use explicitly any of librsb's data structures: their manipulation is to be performed by
       librsb functions. Therefore, knowledge of librsb's matrix type (rsb_mtx_t) is not
       necessary at all: this structure is intended to be used as an opaque container.
       On the contrary, arrays for numerical vectors (or more generally, dense matrices) are
       expected to be managed by the user: librsb does not furnish any specific vector type.
       Computational functions treat dense vectors/matrices are simple arrays of a specified
       type; see the Example programs and code .
        Computational functions  This library can be configured at build time to support a custom
       subset of numerical types. To keep the programming interface compact, it has been decided
       to not replicate the computational functions to each numerical type. Instead, the type is
       expected to be specified by the user via a type flag. For instance, matrix assembly
       functions (e.g.: rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_const() ) accept a type information and keep it
       stored in the matrix structure. Therefore, computational functions (e.g.: rsb_spmv() ) can
       fetch this information from their rsb_mtx_t operand, and treat accordingly the other
       parameters (e.g.: alphap, Xp, ...). Mixed type operations are currently not supported.
        Memory management
       Matrix structures (rsb_mtx_t) allocated by librsb shall be freed only via rsb_mtx_free() .
        Benchmarking
       If you want to benchmark this library, there are different possibilities:
       #!/bin/bash

       set -e
       set -x

       # the benchmark command assumes A.mtx is a file in Matrix Market format
       rsbench -oa -Ob --bench --nmb -f pd.mtx

       # it has many (librsb development-oriented) options
       rsbench -oa -Ob --help

       # this is mostly a development tool so don't rely on much more than the above.

        Tuning and Customization
       There are different ./configure options you may look at for tuning or customizing the

Function Documentation

   rsb_err_t rsb_coo_cleanup (rsb_coo_idx_t * nnzp, void * VA, rsb_coo_idx_t * IA, rsb_coo_idx_t
       * JA, rsb_nnz_idx_t nnzA, rsb_coo_idx_t nrA, rsb_coo_idx_t ncA, rsb_type_t typecode,
       rsb_flags_t flagsA)
       Compacts the given COO input arrays representing a sparse matrix $A$. Will either sum
       together duplicates or use the last one, depending on whether
       RSB_FLAG_DUPLICATES_KEEP_LAST or RSB_FLAG_DUPLICATES_SUM is present in flagsA.
       It is important that the input is sorted and flagsA shall contain RSB_FLAG_SORTED_INPUT,
       otherwise the algorithm's complexity will be quadratic.
       Parameters
           nnzp Pointer to the number of nonzeroes after the cleanup.
           VA,IA,JA Output numerical values (VA) array; output row (IA) and column (JA) indices
           arrays.
           nnzA The number of nonzeroes in the input arrays representing matrix $A$.
           nrA,ncA The number of rows and columns of the sparse matrix $A$.
           typecode A valid type code for the given (numerical array) input pointer (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           flagsA A valid combination of matrix storage flags. If unsure, use RSB_FLAG_NOFLAGS.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.

           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error. If read
           dimensions are illegal (see rsb_coo_idx_t,rsb_nnz_idx_t), RSB_ERR_LIMITS will be
           returned.
       Example getting dimensions of a sparse matrix stored in a Matrix Market file:
              if(RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR!=(errval =
                       rsb_file_mtx_get_dims("pd.mtx",&nrA,&ncA,&nnzA,NULL)))

                               goto err; /* may have not configured what needed */
               }

       Note
           The only sparse matrix file format currently supported is Matrix Market. E.g.:
           %%MatrixMarket matrix coordinate real symmetric
           %
           % A Hilbert Matrix of order 3, so with 3 rows, 3 columns, and 6 nonzeroes.
           %
           3 3 6
           1 1 1.0
           2 1 0.5
           2 2 0.33
           3 1 0.33
           3 2 0.25
           3 3 0.2

            In the above example header on the first line, you can specify either real or complex
           or pattern for the numerical type. Either general, symmetric, hermitian can be
           specified for the structure. In case of pattern matrices, only coordinate indices will
           be loaded (saving pattern matrices is not yet supported); in case of real matrices,
           also one coefficient value will be saved/loaded; in the case of complex matrices, both
           the real and imaginary parts will be saved/loaded in addition to the indices.
           Upper/lower flags will not be reported; hermitiannes do.

       Extra input errors or warnings verbosity can be enabled via the ./configure --enable-
       internals-error-verbosity option.
       Parameters
           filename The specified matrix file name (cannot be NULL).
           flagsA A valid combination of matrix storage flags.
           typecode A valid type code for the given (numerical array) input pointer (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           errvalp An optional (can be NULL) pointer to rsb_err_t where the error status will be
           written to.
       Returns
           On success, a valid pointer (struct rsb_mtx_t*) to the newly allocated matrix
           structure; on error, NULL.
       Note
           The only sparse matrix file format currently supported is Matrix Market. E.g.:
           %%MatrixMarket matrix coordinate real symmetric
           %
           % A Hilbert Matrix of order 3, so with 3 rows, 3 columns, and 6 nonzeroes.

           3 1 0.33
           3 2 0.25
           3 3 0.2

            In the above example header on the first line, you can specify either real or complex
           or pattern for the numerical type. Either general, symmetric, hermitian can be
           specified for the structure. In case of pattern matrices, only coordinate indices will
           be loaded (saving pattern matrices is not yet supported); in case of real matrices,
           also one coefficient value will be saved/loaded; in the case of complex matrices, both
           the real and imaginary parts will be saved/loaded in addition to the indices.
       Example loading a matrix from a Matrix Market file:
        mtxAp = rsb_file_mtx_load("pd.mtx",
                       RSB_FLAG_NOFLAGS,typecode,NULL);
               if(!mtxAp)
               {
                       return EXIT_FAILURE;
               }

       rsb_coo_idx_t pmWidth, rsb_coo_idx_t pmHeight, rsb_marf_t rflags)
       Renders as pixel map the matrix contained in a matrix file.
       Parameters
           pmp Pixel map array pointer.
           filename The specified matrix file name (cannot be NULL).
           pmlWidth stride between lines (in pixels; no less than pmWidth).
           pmWidth Pixel map width (in pixels or points).
           pmHeight Pixel map height (in pixels or points).
           rflags The color mode; only RSB_MARF_RGB is supported for now (1 byte per channel, 3
           channels --- red, green, blue): this requires array pmp to be at least
           (3*pmlWidth*pmHeight) bytes large.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
       Note
           At the time being, pmlWidth is required to be equal to pmWidth.
       Example rendering a matrix from a Matrix Market file to a pixelmap in memory:

   rsb_err_t rsb_file_vec_load (const rsb_char_t * filename, rsb_type_t typecode, void * Yp,
       rsb_coo_idx_t * yvlp)
       Loads a dense vector from the specified file, using the numerical type representation as
       specified by the user. This function is intended to be called in two steps: first with
       Yp=NULL, in order to write the vector length to *yvlp ; then, with yvlp=NULL, to get Yp
       written.
       Parameters
           filename The specified vector file name (cannot be NULL).
           typecode A valid type code for the given (numerical array) input pointer (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           Yp The input array vector.
           yvlp An optional pointer (can be NULL). If supplied, vector length will be written
           here, and no vector will be read.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_exit (struct rsb_initopts * iop)
       Finalize librsb.
       rsb_lib_exit should be called after having freed all matrices.
       If not all of the data structures were properly deallocated before, this function may
       still attempt finalizing the library and return the RSB_ERR_MEMORY_LEAK error code (this
       depends on the --enable-allocator-wrapper configure time option). Any allocated memory
       will be lost (librsb does not keep track of allocated matrices).
       Internal library state will be cleared. After this call, it is legal to initialize the
       library again, by calling rsb_lib_init().
       On an error, the library state may be inconsistent, so it is advisable to either terminate
       program execution (rather than forcing a new initialization with rsb_lib_init()).
       Parameter iop is reserved for future use; for now it is safe to pass
       RSB_NULL_EXIT_OPTIONS.
       It should be safe to call rsb_lib_exit() more than once.

       Parameters
           iop A pointer to a rsb_initopts structure with library options. It may be NULL (or
           better, RSB_NULL_INIT_OPTIONS/RSB_NULL_EXIT_OPTIONS) for specifying default options.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
       An example snippet declaring an error variable accumulator at program's beginning:
             rsb_err_t errval = RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR;

       and finalizing the library at program's end:
               if((errval = rsb_lib_exit(RSB_NULL_EXIT_OPTIONS))
                               != RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR)
               {
                       printf("Error finalizing the library!0);
                       goto err;
               }

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_get_opt (enum rsb_opt_t iof, void * iop)
       Gets value of a library option.
       A value specified by the request flag iof will be fetched from the library internal state
       and *iop will be updated accordingly.
       Parameters
           iof library options flags. See rsb_opt_t for a list of valid options.
           iop library options value output pointer (pointed location will be updated).

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_init (struct rsb_initopts * iop)
       This is the library initialization function.
       It must be called only once before using any other library function.
       It is allowed to call it again after rsb_lib_exit().
       To fine-tune the library behaviour, one may specify a number of options via the iop
       parameter.
       Options may be specified also after rsb_lib_init() by calling rsb_lib_reinit().
       One may call RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE_GET with flag RSB_IO_WANT_IS_INITIALIZED_MARKER to
       verify whether the library has been initialized or not.
       If the RSB_NUM_THREADS environment variable is set, rsb_lib_init() uses it and sets the
       number of active threads, thus overriding what detected by the OpenMP runtime (e.g.
       OMP_NUM_THREADS).
       Parameters
           iop A pointer to a rsb_initopts structure with library options. It may be NULL (or
           better, RSB_NULL_INIT_OPTIONS/RSB_NULL_EXIT_OPTIONS) for specifying default options.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
       An example snippet declaring an error variable accumulator at program's beginning:
           rsb_err_t errval = RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR;

       and initializing the library soon thereafter:
               if((errval = rsb_lib_init(RSB_NULL_INIT_OPTIONS)) !=
                               RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR)
               {
                       printf("Error initializing the library!0);
                       goto err;
               }

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_reinit (struct rsb_initopts * iop)
       Changes the library operation options which were set at initialization time either by a
       user or as defaults.
       Not all options may be supported, depending on build time library settings.
       If an unsupported option was specified, an appropriate error (e.g.:
       RSB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION) will be returned.

       On the first error, option processing is interrupted and the remaining options (if any)
       are not processed.
       Program execution may continue safely even if an error code is returned (that is, library
       status should be consistent).

       Parameters
           iop A pointer to a rsb_initopts structure with library options. It may be NULL (or
           better, RSB_NULL_INIT_OPTIONS/RSB_NULL_EXIT_OPTIONS) for specifying default options.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_set_opt (enum rsb_opt_t iof, const void * iop)
       Sets value of a library option.
       A value specified by the request flag iof will be fetched from *iop and will be used to
       update the selected option in the library internal state.
       Parameters
           iof library options flags. See rsb_opt_t for a list of valid options.
           iop library options value output pointer (pointed location will be updated).

   rsb_err_t rsb_lib_set_opt_str (const rsb_char_t * opnp, const rsb_char_t * opvp)
       Specifies individual library options in order to fine-tune the library behaviour.
       Both the option name and the value shall be expressed as strings, identical to their
       preprocessor identifiers (see rsb_opt_t ). The opnp string will be translated internally
       to the corresponding request flag values, and the passed value will be parsed out of the
       opvp string.

       Parameters
           opnp A pointer to a library option input name string (may not be NULL).
           opvp A pointer to a library option input value string (may not be NULL).

       Creates an empty matrix structure in assembly state. The user then populates it using
       rsb_mtx_set_vals() repeatedly; then assembles it with rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_end().
       Parameters
           nnzA A rough estimate of the number of nonzeroes matrix $A$ will host (used for
           optimizing arrays allocation). If you do not know yet, you can specify zero.
           typecode A valid type code for the given (numerical array) input pointer (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           nrA,ncA The number of rows and columns of the sparse matrix $A$.
           flagsA A valid combination of index conversion and matrix storage flags and other
           meaningful flags.
            The encouraged base choice here is RSB_FLAG_DEFAULT_RSB_MATRIX_FLAGS. If Fortran (1
           based) indices are being used for the IA, JA arrays, then the
           RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE flag should be added. If symmetric storage is
           desired, then RSB_FLAG_SYMMETRIC (or RSB_FLAG_HERMITIAN, for Hermitian matrices) is
           necessary, in combination with either RSB_FLAG_LOWER or RSB_FLAG_UPPER. If you intend
           to use this matrix for triangular solution (e.g.: rsb_spsv()/rsb_spsm()), it needs to
           be triangular and specified with either RSB_FLAG_LOWER_TRIANGULAR or
           RSB_FLAG_UPPER_TRIANGULAR, and not have RSB_FLAG_LOWER_SYMMETRIC or
           RSB_FLAG_LOWER_HERMITIAN. Nonzeroes non complying with the specified flags will be
           ignored. If a matrix is both RSB_FLAG_LOWER_TRIANGULAR and RSB_FLAG_UPPER_TRIANGULAR
           at the same time, then it's diagonal, for which shorthand: RSB_FLAG_DIAGONAL can be
           used. If RSB_FLAG_UNIT_DIAG_IMPLICIT is present, diagonal entries will be not
           represented but assumed to be unitary. If RSB_FLAG_DUPLICATES_SUM is present,
           duplicate entries will be summed together. If RSB_FLAG_DISCARD_ZEROS is present,
           zeroes will be discarded.
           errvalp An optional (can be NULL) pointer to rsb_err_t where the error status will be
           written to.
       Returns
           Pointer to a rsb_mtx_t matrix structure in assembly state, or NULL (on error).

           brA,bcA Blocking parameters: brA should be set to 1 or RSB_DEFAULT_ROW_BLOCKING

       Given as input COO arrays VA,IA,JA, allocates and assembles an RSB matrix reusing input
       arrays.
       Assumes all three VA,IA,JA arrays are at least max(nnzA,nrA+1,ncA+1) sized. The user is
       expected NOT to use these arrays until the matrix has been destroyed with rsb_mtx_free().
       Then, it is possible to use these arrays again.
       Parameters
           VA,IA,JA Input/output numerical values array (VA); row (IA) and column (JA) indices
           arrays.
           nnzA The number of nonzeroes in the input arrays representing matrix $A$.
           typecode A valid type code for the given (numerical array) input pointer (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           nrA,ncA The number of rows and columns of the sparse matrix $A$.
           brA,bcA Blocking parameters: brA should be set to 1 or RSB_DEFAULT_ROW_BLOCKING
           (currently unused, reserved for future use); bcA should be set to 1 or
           RSB_DEFAULT_ROW_BLOCKING (currently unused, reserved for future use).
           flagsA A valid combination of index conversion and matrix storage flags and other
           meaningful flags.
            The encouraged base choice here is RSB_FLAG_DEFAULT_RSB_MATRIX_FLAGS. If Fortran (1
           based) indices are being used for the IA, JA arrays, then the
           RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE flag should be added. If symmetric storage is
           desired, then RSB_FLAG_SYMMETRIC (or RSB_FLAG_HERMITIAN, for Hermitian matrices) is
           necessary, in combination with either RSB_FLAG_LOWER or RSB_FLAG_UPPER. If you intend
           to use this matrix for triangular solution (e.g.: rsb_spsv()/rsb_spsm()), it needs to
           be triangular and specified with either RSB_FLAG_LOWER_TRIANGULAR or
           RSB_FLAG_UPPER_TRIANGULAR, and not have RSB_FLAG_LOWER_SYMMETRIC or
           RSB_FLAG_LOWER_HERMITIAN. Nonzeroes non complying with the specified flags will be
           ignored. If a matrix is both RSB_FLAG_LOWER_TRIANGULAR and RSB_FLAG_UPPER_TRIANGULAR
           at the same time, then it's diagonal, for which shorthand: RSB_FLAG_DIAGONAL can be
           used. If RSB_FLAG_UNIT_DIAG_IMPLICIT is present, diagonal entries will be not
           represented but assumed to be unitary. If RSB_FLAG_DUPLICATES_SUM is present,
           duplicate entries will be summed together. If RSB_FLAG_DISCARD_ZEROS is present,
           zeroes will be discarded.
           errvalp An optional (can be NULL) pointer to rsb_err_t where the error status will be
           written to.
       Returns
           On success, a valid pointer (struct rsb_mtx_t*) to the newly allocated matrix
           structure; on error, NULL.

       const void * alphap, const struct rsb_mtx_t * mtxAp, rsb_flags_t flags)
       This function clones a given matrix, allocating a fresh data structure or overwriting an
       existing one.
       Target type (specified by typecode) can be different from that in the matrix. If
       alphap=NULL, the cloned matrix will not be scaled.
       This new structure will be completely separated and independent from the original one.
       Examples:
       // will clone the matrix exactly
       errval = rsb_mtx_clone(&mtxBp,RSB_NUMERICAL_TYPE_SAME_TYPE,RSB_TRANSPOSITION_N,NULL,mtxAp,RSB_FLAG_IDENTICAL_FLAGS);

       errval = rsb_mtx_clone(&mtxBp,RSB_NUMERICAL_TYPE_SAME_TYPE,RSB_TRANSPOSITION_N,NULL,mtxAp,RSB_FLAG_TRIANGULAR|RSB_FLAG_LOWER);
       Parameters
           mtxBpp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to an address for matrix $B$. If *mtxBpp==NULL, a fresh
           clone will be assigned there; if not, the existing matrix structure will be freed and
           allocated to host the new one. The case *mtxBpp==mtxAp is supported.
           typecode A valid type code for the desired output matrix (see
           matrix_type_symbols_section).
           transA Transposition parameter for $A$ (see matrix_transposition_flags_section).
           alphap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value for scaling
           the output. Of the type code of mtxAp.
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           flags Either RSB_FLAG_IDENTICAL_FLAGS or a combination of other flags, e.g.:
           RSB_FLAG_C_INDICES_INTERFACE, RSB_FLAG_SYMMETRIC, RSB_FLAG_HERMITIAN,

           RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE is ignored.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.

       If there are structural or fill-in zero elements, these will be skipped.
       Writes as many entries as there are nonzeroes (use
       rsb_mtx_get_info(mtxAp,RSB_MIF_MATRIX_NNZ__TO__RSB_NNZ_INDEX_T,&nnz)) to find out how many
       in order to allocate the arrays correctly.
       Parameters
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           VA,IA,JA Output numerical values (VA) array; output row (IA) and column (JA) indices
           arrays.
           flags Either RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE or RSB_FLAG_C_INDICES_INTERFACE (see
           flags_section flags section).
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.

       Writes in COO format the specified submatrix.
       Works in two stages: first the user invokes it with VA,IA,JA set to NULL to get *rnzp.
       Then the VA,IA,JA arrays can be allocated, and the function called again, this time with
       rnzp=NULL but the VA,IA,JA arrays pointers non NULL (or at least, one of them).
       Parameters
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           VA,IA,JA Output numerical values (VA) array; output row (IA) and column (JA) indices
           arrays.
           frA,lrA First and last row indices.
           fcA,lcA First and last column indices.
           IREN,JREN Renumbering arrays for IA and JA (respectively rows count and columns count
           sized). If NULL, no renumbering will be used.
           rnzp A pointer where the number of relevant nonzero elements will be written to.
           flags Either RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE or RSB_FLAG_C_INDICES_INTERFACE (see
           flags_section flags section).
       Returns

       Renders a matrix to a file. Currently, only Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) is supported.
       Parameters
           filename The specified output file name (if NULL or '' (the empty string), will write
           to standard output).
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           pmWidth Pixel map width (in pixels or points).
           pmHeight Pixel map height (in pixels or points).
           rflags The color mode; only RSB_MARF_RGB is supported for now (1 byte per channel, 3
           channels --- red, green, blue): this requires array pmp to be at least
           (3*pmlWidth*pmHeight) bytes large.
       Example rendering a sparse matrix to Postscript:
                  if(RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR!=(errval =
                       rsb_mtx_rndr("pd.eps",mtxAp,512,512,RSB_MARF_EPS_B)))

       Switches a matrix to COO arrays in place.
       Parameters
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           VAp,IAp,JAp Output numerical values (VAp) array pointer; output row (IAp) and column

       Note
           This function is only valid if mtxAp has been assembled in place (that is, in the
           arrays that are being reclaimed), so with e.g.: rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_inplace().
           Please also note that the matrix will get freed internally and so mtxAp will not be
           usable in any way afterwards.

           This function has not been thoroughly tested.
       Example:
         rsb_coo_idx_t  *RP = NULL;
               rsb_coo_idx_t  *JA = NULL;
               RSB_DEFAULT_TYPE *VA = NULL;

           meaningful flags. Symmetry flags shall be the same as in the matrix in use, because
           symmetry expansion may happen otherwise. Flags RSB_FLAG_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED_ARRAYS
           are forbidden.
       Returns

       Parameters
           transA Transposition parameter for $A$ (see matrix_transposition_flags_section).
           alphap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value (of the same

           order A flag among RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER and RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER.
           For contiguous vector arrays, you probably want RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER.
           Bp The input vector array.
           ldB Leading dimension of Bp array.
           betap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value.
           Cp The output vector array.
           ldC Leading dimension of Cp array.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
       Note
           Starting from version 1.3, librsb uses C++ kernels for rsb_spmv/rsb_spmm. Assuming you

       ldB, const void * betap, void * Cp, rsb_nnz_idx_t ldC)
       An auto-tuner: optimizes either the matrix instance, the thread count or both for the
       rsb_spmm operation.
       The tuner works by evaluating different instances and working threads variants. The
       instance leading to faster operation time will be retained and given back to the user in
       *mtxOpp. If nrhs==1 and order==RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER, unitary stride vectors
       are assumed. In case of error, the original input matrix shall be unaffected. It is
       possible to specify the leading dimensions of Bp,Cp implicitly, with ldB=0 and ldC=0: in
       this case, their values will be computed internally and if Bp!=NULL,Cp!=NULL, they will be
       assumed of being sufficiently sized. Values of nrhs<1 will be treated as 1. Bp, Cp can be
       NULL: temporary vectors will be allocated, used, and deallocated within the tuner. If
       mtxOpp=NULL and *tnp!=NULL the best thread count will be probed for the matrix given in
       mtxAp. Please note that if threads-only tuning is requested and matrix has too few leaves
       (see RSB_MIF_LEAVES_COUNT__TO__RSB_BLK_INDEX_T), tuning will not work. If mtxAp==NULL,
       then the *mtxOpp instance will be used; however in this case, if a better instance is
       found, the original will be destroyed as with rsb_mtx_free(). The case
       mtxAp!=NULL&&*mtxOpp!=NULL is illegal and will cause error code RSB_ERR_BADARGS to be
       returned.
       Parameters
           mtxOpp Optimal matrix structure pointer will be assigned to *mtxOpp (it may occur that
           *mtxOpp==mtxAp on output). If mtxOpp is NULL then no data structure optimization will
           be attempted; rather, only optimal threads search will occur (tnp must be not NULL
           then).
           sfp Achieved speedup factor will be written to *sfp (unless sfp==NULL).
           tnp If tnp==NULL on input, the current thread count will be utilized. Otherwise, if
           *tnp>0, then *tnp will be used as first suggestion in optimal thread count searching.
           If tnp!=NULL ,on output *tnp will be set to contain the optimal number of threads.
           Then, the user is expected to set this number of threads using e.g.:
           RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE_SET(RSB_IO_WANT_EXECUTING_THREADS,tnp,errval). Please note
           that this will affect the whole library operation, not only this matrix.
           maxr Optimizer rounds max count. If <1, will be treated as 1; if 0 will be decided
           automatically. Max is RSB_CONST_MAX_TUNING_ROUNDS.
           maxt Maximum time (in seconds) per optimization round (does not take in account
           conversion time). If maxt<0.0 is provided, -ceil(maxt) will be interpreted as number
           of iterations to check for each operation time sample. If maxt==0.0 is provided, a
           default choice will be made instead.
           transA Transposition parameter for $A$ (see matrix_transposition_flags_section).
           alphap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value (of the same
           type as matrix).
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           nrhs The number of right hand side vectors (cannot be <1).
           order A flag among RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER and RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER.
           For contiguous vector arrays, you probably want RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER.
           Bp The input vector array. If NULL, a temporary, internally allocated copy will be
           used.
           ldB Leading dimension of Bp array.
           betap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value.
           Cp The output vector array. If NULL, a temporary, internally allocated copy will be
           used.
           ldC Leading dimension of Cp array.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
              Examples:
       // obtain best thread count for mtxAp:
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(NULL  ,&sf,&tn ,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,mtxAp,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(&mtxOp,&sf,&tn ,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,mtxAp,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       Warning
           This function is still experimental. In case of error, although the matrix shall be
           unaffected, the library status may be affected (e.g.: execution thread count, default
           matrix subdivision).
       Todo
           Autotuning functionality is still object of much research. Need support for
           lightweight, threads-only optimization.

   rsb_err_t rsb_tune_spsm (struct rsb_mtx_t ** mtxOpp, rsb_real_t * sfp, rsb_int_t * tnp,

       An auto-tuner: optimizes either the matrix instance, the thread count or both for the
       rsb_spsm operation.
       The tuner works by evaluating different instances and working threads variants. The
       instance leading to faster operation time will be retained and given back to the user in
       *mtxOpp. If nrhs==1 and order==RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER, unitary stride vectors
       are assumed. In case of error, the original input matrix shall be unaffected. It is
       possible to specify the leading dimensions of Bp,Cp implicitly, with ldB=0 and ldC=0: in
       this case, their values will be computed internally and if Bp!=NULL,Cp!=NULL, they will be
       assumed of being sufficiently sized. Values of nrhs<1 will be treated as 1. Bp, Cp can be
       NULL: temporary vectors will be allocated, used, and deallocated within the tuner. If
       mtxOpp=NULL and *tnp!=NULL the best thread count will be probed for the matrix given in
       mtxAp. Please note that if threads-only tuning is requested and matrix has too few leaves
       (see RSB_MIF_LEAVES_COUNT__TO__RSB_BLK_INDEX_T), tuning will not work. If mtxAp==NULL,
       then the *mtxOpp instance will be used; however in this case, if a better instance is
       found, the original will be destroyed as with rsb_mtx_free(). The case
       mtxAp!=NULL&&*mtxOpp!=NULL is illegal and will cause error code RSB_ERR_BADARGS to be
       returned.
       Parameters
           mtxOpp Optimal matrix structure pointer will be assigned to *mtxOpp (it may occur that
           *mtxOpp==mtxAp on output). If mtxOpp is NULL then no data structure optimization will
           be attempted; rather, only optimal threads search will occur (tnp must be not NULL
           then).
           sfp Achieved speedup factor will be written to *sfp (unless sfp==NULL).
           tnp If tnp==NULL on input, the current thread count will be utilized. Otherwise, if
           *tnp>0, then *tnp will be used as first suggestion in optimal thread count searching.
           If tnp!=NULL ,on output *tnp will be set to contain the optimal number of threads.
           Then, the user is expected to set this number of threads using e.g.:
           RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE_SET(RSB_IO_WANT_EXECUTING_THREADS,tnp,errval). Please note
           that this will affect the whole library operation, not only this matrix.
           maxr Optimizer rounds max count. If <1, will be treated as 1; if 0 will be decided
           automatically. Max is RSB_CONST_MAX_TUNING_ROUNDS.
           maxt Maximum time (in seconds) per optimization round (does not take in account
           conversion time). If maxt<0.0 is provided, -ceil(maxt) will be interpreted as number
           of iterations to check for each operation time sample. If maxt==0.0 is provided, a
           default choice will be made instead.
           transA Transposition parameter for $A$ (see matrix_transposition_flags_section).
           alphap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value (of the same
           type as matrix).
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           nrhs The number of right hand side vectors (cannot be <1).
           order A flag among RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER and RSB_FLAG_WANT_ROW_MAJOR_ORDER.
           For contiguous vector arrays, you probably want RSB_FLAG_WANT_COLUMN_MAJOR_ORDER.
           Bp The input vector array. If NULL, a temporary, internally allocated copy will be
           used.
           ldB Leading dimension of Bp array.
           betap Optional pointer (if NULL, will default to 1) to a numerical value.
           Cp The output vector array. If NULL, a temporary, internally allocated copy will be
           used.
           ldC Leading dimension of Cp array.
       Returns
           RSB_ERR_NO_ERROR on correct operation, an error code otherwise. You can use
           rsb_strerror_r() or rsb_perror() to get more information about the error.
       If --enable-zero-division-checks-on-solve was specified at configure time, attempts to
       solve a triangular matrix with zeroes on a diagonal will fail.
       Warning
           This function is still experimental. In case of error, although the matrix shall be
           unaffected, the library status may be affected (e.g.: execution thread count, default
           matrix subdivision).
       Todo
           Autotuning functionality is still object of much research. Need support for
           lightweight, threads-only optimization.
