  Description     : ROCm library for sparse linear algebra

 rocSPARSE is a library that implements BLAS operations for sparse data
 structures. It is built on the AMD ROCm platform and optimized for
 discrete AMD GPUs.
 .
 rocSPARSE provides a C99 API containing sparse level 1, sparse level 2 and
 sparse level 3 BLAS functions, as well as general matrix multiplication
 between dense and sparse matricies (GEMMI), sparse preconditioner functions,
 sparse matrix format conversion functions, and sparse matrix reordering
 functions.
 .
 It supports a variety of sparse matrix formats, including coordinate list
 in either array of structure form (COO) or structure of array form (COO SOA),
 compressed sparse row (CSR) or column (CSC), block compressed sparse row
 (BSR), general block compressed sparse row (GEBSR), and the ELLPACK-ITPACK
 format (ELL).

rocSPARSE is a dependency of a number of libraries for scientific computing
that can use AMD GPU hardware including PyTorch, Tensorflow, PETSc, Hypre,
Tasmanian, and MFEM, as well as other ROCm libraries such as hipSPARSE
and rocALUTION.

This package is part of AMD's ROCm stack and will be maintained
under the Debian AI team umbrella.
