问题
I want to call mkl.mkl_scsrmultcsr from python. The goal is to calculate a sparse matrix C in compressed sparse row format. Sparse matrix C is the matrix product between A and transpose of A, where A is also a sparse matrix in csr format. When calculating C = A dot (A.T) with scipy, scipy seems (?) to allocate new memory for holding transpose of A (A.T), and definitely allocates memory for a new C matrix (This means I can't use an existing C matrix). So, I want to try to use the mkl c function directly to decrease memory usage.
Here is an answer that works for another mkl function. In that answer, mkl function was faster by 4 times.
The following version finally works after working on it for 4 days. I want to know if I wasted any memory. Would ctype make any copy of the numpy array? Is that that csr->csc conversion in the test function necessary? The intel c function can calculate (A.T) dot A, or A dot A, but not A dot (A.T).
Thanks again.

Things learned:
- index starts from 1 for matrices A, B, and C.
- I mixed up c_indptr and c_indices in the original code. Should be ia = indptr of scipy csr_matrix. ja = indices of scipy csr_matrix.
from the code here. Everything is passed to the mkl_?csrmultcsr as a pointer.
mkl_scsrmultcsr(&ta, &r[1], &sort, &m, &m, &m, a, ja, ia, a, ja, ia, c, jc, ic, &nzmax, &info);I want a mkl function that can work with zero-based index. The mkl.mkl_scsrmultcsr function can only work with one-based indexing. (Or I can one-based indexing for everything. This means using intel c function instead of scipy/numpy for most linear algebra steps.)
回答1:
Look at the Python code for the scipy sparse product. Notice that it calls the compiled code in 2 passes.
It looks like the mkl code does the same thing
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/468640
If request=1, the routine computes only values of the array ic of length m + 1, the memory for this array must be allocated beforehand. On exit the value ic(m+1) - 1 is the actual number of the elements in the arrays c and jc.
If request=2, the routine has been called previously with the parameter request=1, the output arrays jc and c are allocated in the calling program and they are of the length ic(m+1) - 1 at least.
You first allocated ic based on the number of rows of C (you know that from the inputs), and call the mkl code with request=1.
For request=2 you have to allocate c and jc arrays, based on the size in ic(m+1) - 1. This is not the same as the number of nnz in the input arrays.
You are using request1 = c_int(0), which requires that the c arrays be the correct size - which you don't know without actually performing the dot (or a request 1).
==================
File: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scipy/sparse/compressed.py
Definition: A._mul_sparse_matrix(self, other)
pass 1 allocates indptr (note size), and passes the pointers (data doesn't matter at this pass)
indptr = np.empty(major_axis + 1, dtype=idx_dtype)
fn = getattr(_sparsetools, self.format + '_matmat_pass1')
fn(M, N,
np.asarray(self.indptr, dtype=idx_dtype),
np.asarray(self.indices, dtype=idx_dtype),
np.asarray(other.indptr, dtype=idx_dtype),
np.asarray(other.indices, dtype=idx_dtype),
indptr)
nnz = indptr[-1]
pass 2 allocates indptr (different size), and based on nnz indices and data.
indptr = np.asarray(indptr, dtype=idx_dtype)
indices = np.empty(nnz, dtype=idx_dtype)
data = np.empty(nnz, dtype=upcast(self.dtype, other.dtype))

self.data,
np.asarray(other.indptr, dtype=idx_dtype),
np.asarray(other.indices, dtype=idx_dtype),
other.data,
indptr, indices, data)
Last make a new array using these arrays.
return self.__class__((data,indices,indptr),shape=(M,N))
The mkl library should be used in the same way.
===================
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/sparse/sparsetools/csr.h

====================
In case it helps, here's a pure Python implementation of these passes. A literal translation without any attempt to take advantage of any array operations.
def pass1(A, B):
nrow,ncol=A.shape
Aptr=A.indptr
Bptr=B.indptr
Cp=np.zeros(nrow+1,int)
mask=np.zeros(ncol,int)-1

for i in range(nrow):

for jj in range(Aptr[i],Aptr[i+1]):
j=A.indices[jj]
for kk in range(Bptr[j],Bptr[j+1]):
k=B.indices[kk]
if mask[k]!=i:
mask[k]=i
row_nnz += 1
nnz += row_nnz
Cp[i+1]=nnz
return Cp
def pass2(A,B,Cnnz):
nrow,ncol=A.shape
Ap,Aj,Ax=A.indptr,A.indices,A.data
Bp,Bj,Bx=B.indptr,B.indices,B.data
next = np.zeros(ncol,int)-1

nnz = 0
for i in range(nrow):
head = -2
length = 0
for jj in range(Ap[i], Ap[i+1]):
j, v = Aj[jj], Ax[jj]
for kk in range(Bp[j], Bp[j+1]):
k = Bj[kk]
sums[k] += v*Bx[kk]
if (next[k]==-1):
next[k], head=head, k

print(i,sums, next)
for _ in range(length):
if sums[head] !=0:
Cj[nnz], Cx[nnz] = head, sums[head]
nnz += 1
temp = head
head = next[head]
next[temp], sums[temp] = -1, 0
Cp[i+1] = nnz
return Cp, Cj, Cx
def pass0(A,B):
Cp = pass1(A,B)
nnz = Cp[-1]
Cp,Cj,Cx=pass2(A,B,nnz)
N,M=A.shape[0], B.shape[1]
C=sparse.csr_matrix((Cx, Cj, Cp), shape=(N,M))
return C
Both A and B have to be csr. It using a transpose it needs conversion, e.g. B = A.T.tocsr().
