Abstract:Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) solves the product of a sparse matrix and dense vector, and the sparseness of a sparse matrix is often more than 90%. Usually, the sparse matrix is compressed to save storage resources, but this causes irregular access to dense vectors in the algorithm, which takes a lot of time and degrades the SpMV performance of the system. In this study, we design a dedicated channel in the DMA to implement an indirect memory access process to speed up the SpMV operation. On this … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
