Add rocSPARSE CSR SpGEMM by yhmtsai · Pull Request #51 · SparseBLAS/spblas-reference

yhmtsai · 2025-03-27T18:24:48Z

Summary:
This PR adds rocSPARSE CSR SpGEMM with 3 args (C = alpha A * B), 4 args (C = alpha A * B + beta D), and the symbolic/numeric phase.

Details:

Add spgemm state
Add 4 arguments version of SpGEMM (C = alpha A * B + beta D)
the 3 arguments is passing a null matrix D into 4 arguments version
also adds the symbolic_compute, symbolic_fill, and numeric stage
currently, three type of test: spgemm similar to the current CPU version, spgemm_reuse: checking symbolic/numeric, and spgemm_4args: checking 4 arguments version

potential TODO:

create a structure to handle the rocsparse handle in one place
helper for create rocsparse_mat (is already merged in another pr)

Merge Checklist:

Passing CI
Update documentation or README.md
Additional Test/example added (if applicable) and passing
At least one reviewer approval
(optional) Clang sanitizer scan run and triaged
Clang formatter applied (verified as part of passing CI)

I have a general comment: I might not be used to cutting-edge C++, but I don't find the code friendly to read.

+        to_rocsparse_indextype<typename output_type::index_type>(),
+        rocsparse_index_base_zero,
+        to_rocsparse_datatype<typename output_type::scalar_type>()));


maybe we could have something like:

using output_scalar_t = typename output_type::scalar_type;
It would simplify the writings.

I have merged them into a helper function to create a matrix handle easily from the csr_view

+    if (buffer_size > this->buffer_size_) {
+      this->alloc_.deallocate(workspace_, this->buffer_size_);


let's have a reallocate method in the allocator?

I think it is close to the array more than the allocator?
do you imagine something like alloc_.reallocate(&workspace_, old_buffer_size_, new_buffer_size_)?

+    value_type alpha_val = alpha;
+    auto beta_optional = __detail::get_scaling_factor(d);
+    value_type beta = beta_optional.value_or(1);


I am not sure that relying on a and d types for alpha and beta is the best approach.

+void multiply_compute(spgemm_state_t& spgemm_handle, A&& a, B&& b, C&& c) {
+  auto d = __rocsparse::create_null_matrix<std::remove_reference_t<C>>();
+  spgemm_handle.multiply_compute(a, b, c, scaled(0.0, d));


why do we have either scaled(0.0, d) or d?

It is to reuse the 4 arguments SpGEMM. It will give the same setup when using rocsparse_spgemm for C = A*B, null_matrix set the all pointer to nullptr.

@yhmtsai What's the status of this PR? Anything required on my part here, or are you still updating, waiting for @YvanMokwinski to comment on your most recent updates?

yhmtsai · 2025-06-05T13:43:25Z

@YvanMokwinski @BenBrock forgot to mention it can be checked again.
I decide not to introduce a class to handle the rocsparse handle in this PR.
I am also thinking whether using shared_ptr to handle rocsparse matrix handle but I keep it as current state until matrix_opt.
I think 4arg SpGEMM are not supported by the other backend, so I keep them in rocsparse only

BenBrock

Hi @yhmtsai, looks mostly good, I just have a couple of small comments.

As a favor to me, can you please avoid performing Git force pushes on branches for which you have an open PR? If no one is looking at your code yet, force pushing is mostly fine. However, if you force push to a branch I've already reviewed, it becomes very difficult to see what's changed recently. Please use merge commits instead of rebasing if necessary.

BenBrock · 2025-06-09T20:58:59Z

include/spblas/vendor/rocsparse/descriptor.hpp

+  throw_if_error(rocsparse_create_csr_descr(
+      &descr, __backend::shape(a)[0], __backend::shape(a)[1], a.values().size(),
+      a.rowptr().data(), a.colind().data(), a.values().data(),
+      to_rocsparse_indextype<typename matrix_type::offset_type>(),


Please use the tensor_traits inspector instead of depending on scalar_type, index_type, and offset_type typedefs. This is cleaner (you can directly write tensor_scalar_t<mat>) and will work with types we don't define like mdspan as well.

will it be uniform for the other types? like Coo, offset_type does not make sense.

+class spgemm_state_t {


This is okay for now, but eventually we need to have one operation_state_t that encapsulates this (if that's how you want to design it).

Yes, if the operation_state_t is for user-friendly in the end. for now, I think separating individually should be clearer and easier for future change

+void multiply_inspect(spgemm_state_t& spgemm_handle, A&& a, B&& b, C&& c) {}


We need to at least add a version that takes in three matrices and returns a state (see multiply.hpp).

yhmtsai · 2025-06-26T14:18:34Z

@BenBrock Sure, I can avoid force rebasing. It is what we need to do to keep linear history in Ginkgo and I try to reorganize the commit history to describe the change. As we always do squash, my commit history will be merged together anyway.

Hi @BenBrock I have used merge way to update this branch. hope this will help the review process.
I only do adaption on changes in this pr not revert something in this pr here

BenBrock

Have one comment about the CMakeLists.txt, but otherwise looks fine to merge.

BenBrock · 2025-08-20T00:18:56Z

test/gtest/CMakeLists.txt

-
+function(add_rocsparse_lang file_list)
+  if (ENABLE_ROCSPARSE)
+    set_source_files_properties(${${file_list}} PROPERTIES LANGUAGE HIP)


Could we perhaps just have this inline? Personally I find that easier to read than needing to go to a separate function.

yes. agree with it. It is quite small so no need for function now

after push, it automatically dismiss the review. @BenBrock could you check it again?
