GALAHAD CONVERT package

purpose

The convert package takes a sparse matrix \(A\) stored in one format and converts it into another.

Currently only the options and inform dictionaries are exposed; these are provided and used by other GALAHAD packages with Python interfaces. Please contact us if you would like full functionality!

See Section 4 of $GALAHAD/doc/convert.pdf for a brief description of the method employed and other details.

parametric real type T

Below, the symbol T refers to a parametric real type that may be Float32 (single precision) or Float64 (double precision).

callable functions

    function convert_initialize(T, data, control, status)

Set default control values and initialize private data

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
control	is a structure containing control information (see convert_control_type)
status	is a scalar variable of type Int32 that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently): 0 The initialization was successful.

    function convert_information(T, data, inform, status)

Provides output information

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
inform	is a structure containing output information (see convert_inform_type)
status	is a scalar variable of type Int32 that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently): 0 The values were recorded successfully

    function convert_terminate(T, data, control, inform)

Deallocate all internal private storage

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
control	is a structure containing control information (see convert_control_type)
inform	is a structure containing output information (see convert_inform_type)

detailed documentation

control derived type as a Julia structure

components

Bool f_indexing

use C or Fortran sparse matrix indexing

Int32 error

unit for error messages

Int32 out

unit for monitor output

Int32 print_level

controls level of diagnostic output

Bool transpose

obtain the transpose of the input matrix?

Bool sum_duplicates

add the values of entries in duplicate positions?

Bool order

order row or column data by increasing index?

Bool space_critical

if space is critical, ensure allocated arrays are no bigger than needed

Bool deallocate_error_fatal

exit if any deallocation fails

NTuple{31,Cchar} prefix

all output lines will be prefixed by prefix(2:LEN(TRIM(.prefix))-1) where prefix contains the required string enclosed in quotes, e.g. “string” or ‘string’

detailed documentation

inform derived type as a Julia structure

components

Int32 status

the return status. Possible values are:

• 0

  a successful conversion.

• -1

  An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively.

• -2

  A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively.

• -3

  The restriction n > 0 or m > 0 or requirement that a type contains its relevant string ‘coordinate’, ‘sparse_by_rows’, ‘sparse_by_columns’, ‘dense_by_rows’ or ‘dense_by_columns’ has been violated.

• -32

  provided integer workspace is not large enough.

• -33

  provided real workspace is not large enough.

• -73

  an input matrix entry has been repeated.

• -79

  there are missing optional arguments.

• -90

  a requested output format is not recognised.

Int32 alloc_status

the status of the last attempted allocation/deallocation.

Int32 duplicates

the number of duplicates found (-ve = not checked).

NTuple{81,Cchar} bad_alloc

the name of the array for which an allocation/deallocation error occurred.

struct convert_time_type time

timings (see above).
