Optimized GPU algorithms for sparse data problems by Pham, Nguyen Quang Anh

“…Our SpGEMM algorithm efficiently enumerates all the work done during a computation to achieve perfect load balancing, and also uses a randomized algorithm to nearly optimally partition the matrix into pieces small enough to be operated on using the fast but limited amount of shared memory. It is up to 2.5× faster than the state of the art GPU SpGEMM algorithm on the most difficult, unstructured matrices. …”
