Class SparseBlock

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Block
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    SparseBlockCOO, SparseBlockCSR, SparseBlockMCSR

    public abstract class SparseBlock
    extends Object
    implements Serializable, Block
    This SparseBlock is an abstraction for different sparse matrix formats. Since the design is a tradeoff between performance and generality, we restrict this abstraction to row-major sparse representations for now. All sparse matrix block operations are supposed to be implemented against this abstraction in order to enable variability/extensibility. Example sparse format that can be implemented efficiently include CSR, MCSR, and - with performance drawbacks - COO.

        c - column index starting at 0
        Returns:
        position of the first column index lower than or equal to column c in row r
      • posFIndexGTE

        public abstract int posFIndexGTE​(int r,
                                         int c)
        Get position of first column index greater than or equal column c in row r. The position is relative to the indexes/values arrays returned by indexes(r) and values(r). If no such value exists, this call returns -1. Note if CSR the pos(r) is subtracted from the result.
        Parameters:
        r - row index starting at 0
        c - column index starting at 0
        Returns:
        position of the first column index greater than or equal to column c in row r
      • posFIndexGT

        public abstract int posFIndexGT​(int r,
                                        int c)
        Get position of first column index greater than column c in row r. The position is relative to the indexes/values arrays returned by indexes(r) and values(r). If no such value exists, this call returns -1.
        Parameters:
        r - row index starting at 0
        c - column index starting at 0
        Returns:
        position of the first column index greater than column c in row r
      • contains

        public boolean contains​(double pattern)
        Checks if the block contains at least one value of the given pattern. Implementations need to handle NaN patterns as well (note that NaN==NaN yields false).
        Parameters:
        pattern - checked pattern
        Returns:
        true if pattern appears at least once, otherwise false
      • getIterator

        public Iterator<IJV> getIterator()
        Get a non-zero iterator over the entire sparse block. Note that the returned IJV object is reused across next calls and should be directly consumed or deep copied.
        Returns:
        IJV iterator
      • getIterator

        public Iterator<IJV> getIterator​(int ru)
        Get a non-zero iterator over the partial sparse block [0,ru). Note that the returned IJV object is reused across next calls and should be directly consumed or deep copied.
        Parameters:
        ru - exclusive upper row index starting at 0
        Returns:
        IJV iterator
      • getIterator

        public Iterator<IJV> getIterator​(int rl,
                                         int ru)
        Get a non-zero iterator over the subblock [rl, ru). Note that the returned IJV object is reused across next calls and should be directly consumed or deep copied.
        Parameters:
        rl - inclusive lower row index starting at 0
        ru - exclusive upper row index starting at 0
        Returns:
        IJV iterator
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(SparseBlock o,
                              double eps)
        Verify if the values in this sparse block is equivalent to that sparse block, not taking into account the dimensions of the contained values.
        Parameters:
        o - Other block
        eps - Epsilon allowed
        Returns:
        If the blocs are equivalent.
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(double[] denseValues,
                              int nCol)
        Get if the dense double array is equivalent to this sparse Block.
        Parameters:
        denseValues - row major double values same dimensions of sparse Block.
        nCol - Number of columns in dense values (and hopefully in this sparse block)
        Returns:
        If the dense array is equivalent
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(double[] denseValues,
                              int nCol,
                              double eps)
        Get if the dense double array is equivalent to this sparse Block.
        Parameters:
        denseValues - row major double values same dimensions of sparse Block.
        nCol - Number of columns in dense values (and hopefully in this sparse block)
        eps - Epsilon allowed to be off. Note we treat zero differently and it must be zero.
        Returns:
        If the dense array is equivalent
