oneapi::mkl::sparse::release_matrix_handle

Releases internal data and sets oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t object to NULL.

Description

The oneapi::mkl::sparse::release_matrix_handle routine releases (also waits for the dependencies to be finished when provided) any internal data that the oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t object holds and sets it with default values, otherwise throws an exception.

Note

Refer to Error Handling for a detailed description of the possible exceptions thrown.

A recommended usage model is the following

using namespace oneapi::mkl;

// set newly created handle to nullptr before sending to
// init_matrix_handle for initialization

sparse::matrix_handle_t handle = nullptr;
sparse::init_matrix_handle(&handle);

// handle is now initialized and can be filled and used

sparse::set_csr_data(queue, handle, /*matrix sizes and arrays */);

// when finished, clean up the handle
sycl::event ev_release = sparse::release_matrix_handle(queue, &handle, dependencies);
ev_release.wait();  // make it blocking or pass event along to others

API

Syntax

namespace oneapi::mkl::sparse {

    sycl::event release_matrix_handle (
        sycl::queue & queue,
        oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t *p_handle,
        const std::vector<sycl::event> &dependencies = {});

    // deprecated in 2023.0
    void release_matrix_handle (
        oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t *p_handle,
        const std::vector<sycl::event> &dependencies ={});
}

Input Parameters

queue

Specifies the SYCL command queue which will be used for SYCL kernels execution.

p_handle

The address of the sparse::matrix_handle_t handle to object containing the sparse matrix and other internal data, initialized with oneapi::mkl::sparse::init_matrix_handle routine, and filled with user data using one of the oneapi::mkl::sparse::set_<sparse_matrix_type>_data routines. The oneapi::mkl::sparse::optimize_xyz routines may have also created additional internally allocated data which would be released in this call.

Note

Currently, the only supported case for <sparse_matrix_type> is csr.

dependencies

A vector of type const std::vector<sycl::event> containing the list of any events that the handle depends on before executing the release of the matrix handle.

Output Parameters

p_handle

The address of the sparse::matrix_handle_t handle that will be scheduled to be updated to point to a null object and the passed in handle will be scheduled for deallocation and cleanup.

Return Values

sycl::event

SYCL event which can be waited upon or added as a dependency for the completion of the deallocation cleanup routines.

Return Values (deprecated version)

In the deprecated version, no sycl::event is returned and the API is blocking.
