Deprecated Sparse BLAS Level 2 and Level 3 Routines

[Ahmadi__Afshin]

Hello,

I am currently using Intel MKL 2018 Update 3 and it seems that the Sparse BLAS Level 2 and Level 3 routines have been deprecated. I used to use the mkl_?dnscsr function to convert a dense matrix to sparse format. However, I cannot find the corresponding routine from the Intel MKL Inspector-executor Sparse BLAS as mentioned in the reference manual. Can you please help? Thanks much.

Hi Afshin,

​Thank you for asking the question. You may continue to use them for now. We will prepare for the functions before remove in further version.

Best Regards,
