摘要

Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) is an important kernel and its performance is critical for many applications. Storage format selection is to select the best format to store a sparse matrix; it is essential for SpMV performance. Prior studies have focused on predicting the format that helps SpMV run fastest, but have ignored the runtime prediction and format conversion overhead. This work shows that the runtime overhead makes the predictions from previous solutions frequently sub-optimal and sometimes inferior regarding the end-to-end time. It proposes a new paradigm for SpMV storage selection, an overhead-conscious method. Through carefully designed regression models and neural network-based time series prediction models, the method captures the influence imposed on the overall program performance by the overhead and the benefits of format prediction and conversions. The method employs a novel two-stage lazy-and-light scheme to help control the possible negative effects of format predictions, and at the same time, maximize the overall format conversion benefits. Experiments show that the technique outperforms previous techniques significantly. It improves the overall performance of applications by 1.21X to 1.53X, significantly larger than the 0.83X to 1.25X upper-bound speedups overhead-oblivious methods could give.
