dss_define_structure

Syntax

C:

dss_define_structure(handle, opt, rowIndex, nRows, nCols, columns, nNonZeros);

Fortran:

call dss_define_structure(handle, opt, rowIndex, nRows, nCols, columns, nNonZeros);

Include Files

The FORTRAN 77 interface is specified in the mkl_dss.f77 include file, the Fortran 90 interface is specified in the mkl_dss.f90 include file, and the C interface is specified in the mkl_dss.h include file.

Description

The routine dss_define_structure communicates the locations of the nNonZeros number of non-zero elements in a matrix of nRows * nCols size to the solver.

Note

The Intel MKL DSS software operates only on square matrices, so nRows must be equal to nCols.

To communicate the locations of non-zero elements in the matrix, do the following:

1. Define the general non-zero structure of the matrix by specifying the value for the options argument opt. You can set the following values for real matrices:

   • MKL_DSS_SYMMETRIC_STRUCTURE

   • MKL_DSS_SYMMETRIC

   • MKL_DSS_NON_SYMMETRIC

   and for complex matrices:

   • MKL_DSS_SYMMETRIC_STRUCTURE_COMPLEX

   • MKL_DSS_SYMMETRIC_COMPLEX

   • MKL_DSS_NON_SYMMETRIC_COMPLEX

     The information about the matrix type must be defined in dss_define_structure.

2. Provide the actual locations of the non-zeros by means of the arrays rowIndex and columns (see Sparse Matrix Storage Format).

Input Parameters

nRows	FORTRAN 77: INTEGER Fortran 90: INTEGER, INTENT(IN) C: _INTEGER_t const*	Number of rows in the matrix.
nCols	FORTRAN 77: INTEGER Fortran 90: INTEGER, INTENT(IN) C: _INTEGER_t const*	Number of columns in the matrix.
columns	FORTRAN 77: INTEGER Fortran 90: INTEGER, INTENT(IN) C: _INTEGER_t const*	Array of size nNonZeros. Defines the location of non-zero entries in the matrix.
nNonZeros	FORTRAN 77: INTEGER Fortran 90: INTEGER, INTENT(IN) C: _INTEGER_t const*	Number of non-zero elements in the matrix.
