Introduction to the hipSOLVER API

The following tables summarize the wrapper functions that are implemented in the regular API for the different supported precisions in the hipSOLVER release. Most of these functions have a corresponding version in the compatibility APIs, where applicable.

Note

The hipSOLVER library is in active development, with new features are being continuously added.

Compatibility-only functions

The following tables summarize the wrapper functions that are provided only in the compatibility APIs. These wrappers are supported in rocSOLVER, but are provided by equivalent functions that use different algorithmic approaches or by functionality that is not fully exposed in the public API. For these reasons, the corresponding wrappers are not provided in the regular hipSOLVER API.

Linear-system solvers

The following linear-system solvers are implemented in rocSOLVER, but 64-bit functions have not yet been added to hipSOLVER’s regular API.

Linear-system solvers

Function	single	double	single complex	double complex
hipsolverDnXsytrs_bufferSize	x	x	x	x
hipsolverDnXsytrs	x	x	x	x

Partial SVD functions

Partial SVD has been implemented in rocSOLVER, but it does not use an approximate algorithm and does not compute the residual norm.

Singular value decomposition

Function	single	double	single complex	double complex
hipsolverDnXgesvdaStridedBatched_bufferSize	x	x	x	x
hipsolverDnXgesvdaStridedBatched	x	x	x	x

General eigensolvers

General eigensolvers are not yet implemented in rocSOLVER. The rocSOLVER backend will instead call into a CPU implementation of LAPACK.

Sparse matrix routines

Sparse matrix routines and direct solvers for sparse matrices are in the very early stages of development. Due to unsupported backend functionality, there are several intricacies and possible performance implications to be aware of when using these routines. See the hipsolverSp compatibility API for more details and a full listing of supported functions.

Refactorization routines

Refactorization routines and direct solvers for sparse matrices are in the very early stages of development. Due to unsupported backend functionality, there are several intricacies and possible performance implications to be aware of when using these routines. See the hipsolverRf compatibility API for more details and a full listing of supported functions.
