oneapi::mkl::sparse::release_matrix_handle
Releases internal data in the provided oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t object and then frees the handle itself.
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. It then frees the object itself.
In previous releases, the dereferencing occured asynchronously, which can cause segmentation faults if p_spMat is a stack variable (such as &handle) and goes out of scope before the asynchronous execution (including the dereferencing) begins.
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 spMat = nullptr;
sparse::init_matrix_handle(&spMat);
// handle is now initialized and can be filled and used
sparse::set_csr_data(queue, spMat, /*matrix sizes and arrays */);
// when finished, clean up the handle
sycl::event ev_release = sparse::release_matrix_handle(queue, &spMat, 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_spMat,
const std::vector<sycl::event> &dependencies = {});
// deprecated in 2023.0
[[deprecated("Use oneapi::mkl::sparse::release_matrix_handle(queue, p_spMat, dependencies) instead.")]]
void release_matrix_handle (
oneapi::mkl::sparse::matrix_handle_t *p_spMat,
const std::vector<sycl::event> &dependencies ={});
}
Include Files
oneapi/mkl/spblas.hpp
Input Parameters
- queue
-
Specifies the SYCL command queue which will be used for SYCL kernels execution.
- p_spMat
-
The address of the sparse::matrix_handle_t handle to object to be released, 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:The supported cases for <sparse_matrix_type> are csr and coo on both CPU and GPU devices. - 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_spMat
-
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.
