Efficient sparse-matrix multi-vector product on GPUs

Sparse Matrix-Vector (SpMV) and Sparse Matrix-Multivector (SpMM) products are key kernels for computational science and data science. While GPUs offer significantly higher peak performance and memory bandwidth than multicore CPUs, achieving high performance on sparse computations on GPUs is very challenging. A tremendous amount of recent research has focused on various GPU implementations of the SpMV kernel. But the multi-vector SpMM kernel has...
