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.)
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).

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.

Both A and B have to be csr. It using a transpose it needs conversion, e.g. B = A.T.tocsr().
