SpecBoost: Accelerating Tiled Sparse Matrix Multiplication via Dataflow Speculation

Abstract

Sparse matrix-sparse matrix multiplication (SpMSpM) is crucial in many fields such as scientific computing, sparse linear algebra, and machine learning due to its computational complexity in the large and extremely sparse datasets. Various applications dealing with the sparse matrix show a variety of sparse matrix patterns, so the inner product, outer product, and Gustavson (row-wise) methods have been selectively used for the acceleration of the sparse matrix computation. Previous works determine a fixed dataflow before the computation. However, such an approach cannot optimize all the input matrice types having various data patterns. To address these limitations, we propose a SpecBoost, a method that dynamically selects an optimal tile-level SpMSpM dataflow by analyzing the sparsity pattern within each matrix tile and speculating the best tiled dataflow scheme before the computational stage. We compared our method with the widely known previous methods (CSSpa, ExTensor, MatRaptor), and experimental results show that on average our method reduced memory accesses by a factor of ( $4.01\times $ , $2.86\times $ , $2.22\times $ ) and boosts the performance of prior works over the baseline by ( $4.62\times $ , $2.40\times $ , $1.59\times $ ).
