Hello,
we are updating the code in my organisation to get rid of the deprecated SPBLAS functions. Our software makes some structure calculations with sparse matrices codified as CSR (symmetric, upper, one-based indexes, non-unit diagonal) and force/displacement vectors. Until now we were using mkl_dscrsymv to multiply matrix by vector (we were obtaining exactly the same values codifying the vector as a one-row matrix and using mkl_dcsrmm because we experimented some segmentation faults with an older MKL version; btw, we are working with MS Visual Studio C++ on an Intel Core i7).
The fact is, all our operations with the Inspector-Executor functions (building the matrix from a COO, adding, even the results from PARDISO) are ok, but the multiplication with mkl_sparse_d_mv return a few significativelly different values than the deprecated functions, and that makes our structures fail. For instance, with a rank=1792 and a vector with 496 non-zero values, we find 144 different values in the multiplication, 36 of them being significally different (at least 1% in absolute value).
This is the code for the operation V_out = M x V_in :
matrix_descr matrix_descr;
matrix_descr.type = sparse_matrix_type_t::SPARSE_MATRIX_TYPE_SYMMETRIC;
matrix_descr.mode = sparse_fill_mode_t::SPARSE_FILL_MODE_UPPER;
matrix_descr.diag = sparse_diag_type_t::SPARSE_DIAG_NON_UNIT;
sparse_status_t res = mkl_sparse_d_mv (sparse_operation_t::SPARSE_OPERATION_NON_TRANSPOSE, 1.0, M, matrix_descr, V_in, 0.0, V_out);
The return value is always sparse_status_t::SPARSE_STATUS_SUCCESS, but the values returned into V_out do not match the ones expected.
Is this a problem you were aware of, or have I found some bug?
Thanks,
David B.

Hi David,
To be clear, are you creating the sparse_matrix_t M with mkl_sparse_?_create_csr() or with mkl_sparse_?_create_coo() ? If with the coo, could you convert to CSR and then try with mkl_sparse_?_create_csr() ?
If you wouldn't mind, could you share your matrix and a reproducer so we can determine if it is a bug or not?
Best,
Spencer

or you can submit the issue to the intel online service center if you need to share the private info and data
