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 library.

Macro Definition Documentation

   #define RSB_SIZEOF(TYPE)   RSB_NUMERICAL_TYPE_SIZE(TYPE)
       Use RSB_SIZEOF macro to get the size (in bytes) of a type supported by the library (e.g.: when allocating
       numerical vectors).

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_err_t   rsb_file_mtx_get_dims  (const  char  *  filename,  rsb_coo_idx_t  *  nrp,  rsb_coo_idx_t  *  ncp,
       rsb_coo_idx_t * nzp, rsb_flags_t * flagsp)

       optionally NULL) variables.
       Parameters
           filename The specified matrix file name (cannot be NULL).
           nrp,ncp Output pointers to rows and columns count variables (can be NULL).
           nzp Output pointer to the nonzeroes count variable (can be NULL).

           RSB_FLAG_LOWER, RSB_FLAG_UPPER, RSB_FLAG_SYMMETRIC, RSB_FLAG_HERMITIAN.
       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  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)))
               {
                       if(errval != RSB_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE)
                               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.

       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;

       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).

           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

       Note
           At the time being, pmlWidth is required to be equal to pmWidth.

       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

           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_strerror_r() or

   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!\n");
                       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!\n");
                       goto err;

           RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE, RSB_REINIT_SINGLE_VALUE_C_IOP..
   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.

       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.

           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).

       rsb_coo_idx_t ncA, rsb_flags_t flagsA, rsb_err_t * errvalp)
       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).

           nrA,ncA  The  number  of  rows and columns of the sparse matrix $A$. If any of nrA or ncA is zero, it
           will be detected on the basis of the IA and JA arrays and flagsA.
           brA,bcA Blocking parameters: brA should be set to 1 or  RSB_DEFAULT_ROW_BLOCKING  (currently  unused,

           errvalp An optional (can be NULL) pointer to rsb_err_t where the error status will be written to.

   rsb_err_t rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_end (struct rsb_mtx_t ** mtxApp)
       Assembles  RSB  arrays  for  a  matrix  in  build  state  created with rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_begin() and
       populated with rsb_mtx_set_vals().
       After assembly, any operation on the matrix is allowed.
       Parameters
           mtxApp rsb_mtx_t pointer to an unassembled matrix address.
       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.
       Warning
           This function has not been thoroughly tested.
       Note
           Note  that  the  memory  location  of  the matrix will be changed by this call, and the (old) *mtxApp
           address value will be not valid anymore.

       rsb_blk_idx_t bcA, rsb_flags_t flagsA, rsb_err_t * errvalp)
       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.

       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);
       // will clone the transpose of the matrix
       errval = rsb_mtx_clone(&mtxBp,RSB_NUMERICAL_TYPE_SAME_TYPE,RSB_TRANSPOSITION_T,NULL,mtxAp,RSB_FLAG_IDENTICAL_FLAGS);
       // will clone the lower triangle of the matrix
       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.:

           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.

   struct rsb_mtx_t * rsb_mtx_free (struct rsb_mtx_t * mtxAp)
       Frees a previously allocated sparse matrix structure.
       In the case the matrix has the RSB_FLAG_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED_ARRAYS flag,  the  main  three  data  arrays
       VA,IA,JA          will          not         be         freed         by         rsb_mtx_free         (see
       rsb_mtx_alloc_from_coo_inplace,rsb_mtx_alloc_from_csr_inplace).
       Parameters
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
       Returns
           Always NULL.
       Example freeing a sparse matrix:
               rsb_mtx_free(mtxAp);

       rsb_flags_t flags)
       Returns the matrix converted in a coordinate storage format.
       Elements will be stored in no particular order.
       If there are structural or fill-in zero elements, these will be skipped.
       Writes       as        many        entries        as        there        are        nonzeroes        (use

       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

   rsb_err_t rsb_mtx_get_vec (const struct rsb_mtx_t * mtxAp, void * Dp, enum rsb_extff_t flags)
       Will overwrite a supplied array with a specific vector quantity.
       Parameters
           mtxAp Valid rsb_mtx_t pointer to matrix $A$ representation.
           Dp A valid pointer to a numerical vector array $D$.
           flags Either one of the different extraction filter flags  (e.g.:  RSB_EXTF_DIAG,  RSB_EXTF_SUMS_ROW,

       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)))
                               goto err;

       Setting environment variable  RSB_USE_HOSTNAME=0  prevents  hostname  being  in  the  EPS  plot  internal
       comments.

       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 (JAp) indices

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

           RSB_FLAG_FORTRAN_INDICES_INTERFACE)  and  other 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.

       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 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.
           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

       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);

       // obtain best thread count for mtxAp; Bp and Cp will be allocated by the tuner:
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(NULL  ,&sf,&tn ,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,mtxAp,nrhs,order,NULL,0,&beta,NULL,0);

       // obtain best clone of mtxAp (for current thread count):
       assert(mtxOp == NULL && mtxAp != NULL);
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(&mtxOp,&sf,NULL,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,mtxAp,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       // obtain best clone of mtxAp and best thread count:
       assert(mtxOp == NULL && mtxAp != NULL);
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(&mtxOp,&sf,&tn ,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,mtxAp,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       // replace mtxAp with best clone (if any):
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(&mtxAp,&sf,NULL,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,NULL ,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       // replace mtxAp with best clone (if any) and obtain best thread count:
       errval = rsb_tune_spmm(&mtxAp,&sf,&tn ,maxr,maxt,transA,&alpha,NULL ,nrhs,order,Bp,ldB,&beta,Cp,ldC);

       // illegal call:
       assert(mtxOp != NULL && mtxAp != NULL);
       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.

       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.
