slu.matrix.getSupernodeStructure

Analyze supernode structure of a matrix.

Syntax

slu.matrix.getSupernodeStructure(A, perm?)

Description

Analyze supernode structure of a matrix. Supernodes are groups of consecutive columns that have the same nonzero pattern below the diagonal. They enable efficient use of BLAS-3 operations during factorization. This is a simplified analysis based on column structure similarity.

Parameters

NameDescription
A- Sparse matrix in CSC format
perm(optional)- Column permutation (optional)

Returns

SupernodeStructure
