Abstract: We analyze single-node performance of sparse matrix-vector multiplication by investigating issues of data locality and fine-grained parallelism. We examine the data-locality characteristics of the compressedsparse -row representation and consider improvements in locality through matrix permutation. Motivated by potential improvements in fine-grained parallelism, we evaluate modified sparse-matrix representations. The results lead to general conclusions about improving single-node performance of ... (Update)

.... While a detailed performance modeling of this operation can be complex, particularly when data reference patterns are included [14 16], a simplified analysis can still yield upper bounds on the achievable performance of this operation. To illustrate the effect of...

...due to their particular sparsity patterns, exhibit more conflicts or reduced spatial locality. Some form of matrix reordering [30, 19, 24, 15], or the use of multiple rc block sizes are likely to be the most e#ective way to address this performance issue. On the Power3,...
