sparse computation scientific computing programming abstractions dense linear algebra Sparse Linear Algebra sTiles

In this talk, I will present sTiles, a direct solver that decides sparse or dense tile by tile instead of once for the whole matrix, covering the full range from sparse to fully dense and outpacing established sparse direct solvers on the repeated factorizations that drive large-scale inference.
