An adaptive approach for compression format based on bagging algorithm.

The traditional parallel Sparse matrix vector multiplication (SpMV) method has been optimized by an application-specific or compression format-specific. However, a single compression format cannot deal with all sparse matrix types effectively in practical applications. To solve this problem, an adaptive compression format based on Bagging ensemble learning algorithm is proposed in this paper. Experiments show that the adaptive compression format has higher prediction and computational performance on NVIDIA V100 and NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti. Compared with SpMV of the four compression formats, SpMV based on adaptive compression format reduces the execution time of 1.5x, 6.6x, 9x and 1.1x, respectively.
