Sparse matrices on the web
Prabhjot Sandhu, David Herrera, Laurie Jane Hendren · 2018
JavaScript is the most widely used language for web programming, and now increasingly becoming popular for high performance computing, data-intensive applications, and deep learning. More recently, WebAssembly has been introduced as a typed low-level bytecode representation which promises to enable better performance. Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) is an important kernel that is considered critical for the performance of compute-intensive applications. In SpMV, the optimal selection of storage format is one of the key aspects of enabling the best performance.
