The Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV) kernel is used in a broad class of linear algebra computations. SpMV computations result in a performance bottleneck in many high performance applications, so optimizing SpMV performance is paramount. While implementing this kernel on a GPU can potentially boost performance significantly, current GPU libraries either provide modest performance gains or are burdened with high sparse format conversion overhead.
