What is it?

The BeBOP Sparse Matrix Converter (SMC) is a C library and standalone utility. It converts between various sparse matrix file formats, as well as internal sparse matrix storage formats. The SMC is part of my work for the Berkeley Benchmarking and Optimization Group ("BeBOP"). Its features include:

• Converts between Harwell-Boeing, MatrixMarket, and Matlab (ASCII) file formats
• Converts between many different internal formats (e.g, coordinate, CSR, CSC, jagged diagonal)
• Tested on a wide variety of platforms (including GNU/Linux, Solaris, Windows via Cygwin, and AIX)
• Thread safe by default
• For more features, see this detailed list

How do I get it?

Before you download the package, please send me an e-mail at "mhoemmen at cs dot berkeley dot spammers-are-bad edu" (e-mail address obfuscated to confuse spammers). I'd like to know how you plan to use the package, and if you have any feature requests.

You need to download three packages:

• the BeBOP Make collection of Makefile configurations,
• the BeBOP Utility Library,
• and the BeBOP Sparse Matrix Converter

Installation
