  • Computation of solution to sparse matrix
    Patent number: 11249684
    Abstract: Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for efficient sparse matrix factorization. A method can include writing matrix data representing a sparse matrix to a memory, after writing the matrix data to the memory, write data to a control register of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) indicating the matrix data is available for factorization, and in response to either of (i) reading a status register indicating that the FPGA has factorized the matrix data, or (ii) receiving a software interrupt indicating that the FPGA has factorized the matrix data, determining a solution to a linear system of equations represented by the sparse matrix.
