// The matrix can be held in one of 8 formats, each one consisting of a set of
// vectors.  The vector "names" are in the range 0 to A->vdim-1.  Each
// vector has length A->vlen.  These two values define the dimension of the
// matrix, where A is m-by-n.  The m and n dimenions are vlen and vdim for the
// CSC formats, and reversed for the CSR formats.

// Ap, Ai, Ax, Ah, and Ab are abbreviations for A->p, A->i, A->x, A->h, and
// A->b, respectively.

// For the sparse and hypersparse formats, Ap is an integer array of size
// A->plen+1, with Ap [0] always zero.  The matrix contains A->nvec sparse
// vectors, where A->nvec <= A->plen <= A->vdim.  The arrays Ai and Ax define
// the indices and values in each sparse vector.  The total number of entries
// in the matrix is Ap [nvec] <= GB_nnz_max (A).
// A->nvals is equal to Ap [nvec].

// For the bitmap and full sparsity structures, Ap and Ai are NULL.

// For both hypersparse and non-hypersparse matrices, if A->nvec_nonempty is
// computed, it is the number of vectors that contain at least one entry, where
// 0 <= A->nvec_nonempty <= A->nvec always holds.  If not computed,

// hashing the hypersparse list
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/* The matrix Y is a hashed inverse of the A->h hyperlist, for a hypersparse
    matrix A.  It allows for fast lookup of entries in Ah.  Given j, the goal
    is to find k so that j = Ah [k], or to report that j is not in Ah.  The
    matrix A->Y allows for a fast lookup to compute this, without using a
    binary search.

        anvec = A->nvec
        avdim = A->vdim
        Ah = A->h
        nhash is the size of the hash table Y, which is always a power of 2.
            Its size is determined by GB_hyper_hash_build.

    Then A->Y has dimension Y->vdim = nhash (one vector in Y for each hash
    bucket), and Y->vlen = avdim.  If Y is considered as held in column-format,
    then Y is avlen-by-nhash.  The row/col format of Y is not important.  Each
    of its vectors (nhash of them) corresponds to a single hash bucket, and
    each hash bucket can hold up to avdim entries (assuming worst-case
    collisions where all entries j land in the same hash bucket).  Y is always
    in sparse format; never full, bitmap, or hypersparse.  Its type is always
    GrB_INT64, and it is never iso-valued.  The # of entries in Y is exactly
    anvec.

    Let f(j) = GB_HASHF2(j,nhash-1) be the hash function for the value j.  Its
    value is in the range 0 to nhash-1, where nhash is always a power of 2.

    If j = Ah [k], then k = Y (j,f (j)).
    If j is not in the Ah hyperlist, then Y (j,f(j)) does not appear
    as an entry in Y.

    Ideally, if the hash function had no collisions, each vector in Y would
    have length 0 or 1, and k = Y (j,f(j)) would be O(1) time lookup.
    However, the load factor is normally in the range of 2 to 4, so ideally
    each bucket will contain about 4 entries on average, if the load factor
    is 4.

    A->Y is only computed when required, or if GrB_Matrix_wait (Y) is
    explicitly called.  Once computed, k can be found as follows:

        // This can be done once, and reused for many searches:
        int64_t nhash = A->Y->vdim ;    // # of buckets in the hash table
        int64_t hash_bits = nhash-1 ;
        int64_t *Yp = A->Y->p ;         // pointers to each hash bucket
                                        // Yp has size nhash+1.
        int64_t *Yi = A->Y->i ;         // "row" indices j; Yi has size anvec.
        int64_t *Yx = A->Y->x ;         // values k; Yx has size anvec.

        // Given a value j to find in the list Ah: find the entry k =
        // Y(j,f(j)), if it exists, or k=-1 if j is not in the Ah
        // hyperlist.
        int64_t jhash = GB_HASHF2 (j, hash_bits) ;     // in range 0 to nhash-1
        int64_t k = -1 ;
        for (int64_t p = Yp [jhash] ; p < Yp [jhash+1] ; p++)
        {
            if (j == Yi [p])
            {
                k = Yx [p] ;        // k = Y (j,jhash) has been found
                break ;
            }
            // or this could be done instead:
            // k = (j == Yi [p]) ? Yx [p] : k ;  // break not needed.
        }

GrB_Matrix Y ;      // Y is a matrix that represents the inverse of A->h.

// pending tuples
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// If an entry A(i,j) does not appear in the data structure, assigning A(i,j)=x
// requires all entries in vectors j to the end of matrix to be shifted down by
// one, taking up to O(nnz(A)) time to do so.  This very slow.

// Without its "non-blocking" mode of operation, A(i,j)=x would be very slow
// for a single scalar x.  With GraphBLAS' non-blocking mode, tuples from
// GrB_setElement and GrB_*assign can be held in another format that is easy to
// update: a conventional list of tuples, held inside the matrix itself.  A
// list of tuples is easy to update but hard to work with in most operations,
// so whenever another GraphBLAS method or operation needs to access the
// matrix, the matrix is finalized by applying all the pending updates.

// When a new entry is added that does not exist in the matrix, it is added to
// this list of pending tuples.  Only when the matrix is needed in another
// operation are the pending tuples assembled into the compressed sparse vector
// form, A->h, A->p, A->i, and A->x.

// The type of the list of pending tuples (Pending->type) need not be the same
// as the type of the matrix.  The GrB_assign and GxB_subassign operations can
// leave pending tuples in the matrix.  The accum operator, if not NULL,
// becomes the pending operator for assembling the pending tuples and adding
// them to the matrix.  For typecasting z=accum(x,y), the pending tuples are
// typecasted to the type of y.
//
// Let aij by the value of the pending tuple of a matrix C.  There are up to 5
// different types to consider: Pending->type (the type of aij), ztype, xtype,
// ytype, and ctype = C->type, (the type of the matrix C with pending tuples).
//
// If this is the first update to C(i,j), or if there is no accum operator,
// for for GrB_setElement:
//
//      aij of Pending->type
//      cij = (ctype) aij
//
// For subsequent tuples with GrB_assign or GxB_subassign, when accum is
// present:
//
//      y = (ytype) aij
//      x = (xtype) cij
//      z = accum (x,y), result of ztype
//      cij = (ctype) z ;
//
// Since the pending tuple must be typecasted to either ctype or ytype,
// depending on where it appears, it must be stored in its original type.

GB_Pending Pending ;        // list of pending tuples

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// zombies
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// A "zombie" is the opposite of a pending tuple.  It is an entry A(i,j) that
// has been marked for deletion, but has not been deleted yet because it is more
// efficient to delete all zombies all at once, rather than one (or a few) at a
// time.  An entry A(i,j) is marked as a zombie by 'flipping' its index via
// GB_FLIP(i).  A flipped index is negative, and the actual index can be
// obtained by GB_UNFLIP(i).  GB_FLIP(i) is a function that is its own inverse:
// GB_FLIP(GB_FLIP(x))=x for all x.

// Using zombies allows entries to be marked for deletion.  Their index is
// still important, for two reasons: (1) the indices in each vector of the
// matrix are kept sorted to enable the use of binary search, (2) a zombie may
// be restored as a regular entry by a subsequent update, via setElement,
// subassign, or assign.  In this case its index is unflipped and its value
// modified.  Had the zombie not been there, the update would have to be placed
// in the pending tuple list.  It is more efficient to keep the pending tuple
// lists as short as possible, so zombies are kept as long as possible to
// facilitate faster subsequent updates.

// Unlike pending tuples, no list of zombies is needed since they are already
// in the right place in the matrix.  However, methods and operations in
// GraphBLAS that cannot tolerate zombies in their input matries can check the
// condition (A->nzombies > 0), and then delete all of them if they appear, via
// GB_wait.

// sparsity control
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// The hyper_switch determines how the matrix is converted between the
// hypersparse and non-hypersparse formats.  Let n = A->vdim and let k be the
// actual number of non-empty vectors.  If A is hypersparse, k can be less than
// A->nvec since the latter can include vectors that appear in A->h but are
// actually empty.

// If a matrix is currently hypersparse, it can be converted to non-hypersparse
// if the condition (n <= 1 || k > n*hyper_switch*2) holds.  Otherwise, it
// stays hypersparse.  Note that if n <= 1 the matrix is always stored as
// non-hypersparse.

// If currently non-hypersparse, it can be converted to hypersparse if the
// condition (n > 1 && k <= n*hyper_switch) holds.  Otherwise, it stays
// non-hypersparse.  Note that if n <= 1 the matrix remains non-hypersparse.

// The default value of hyper_switch is assigned to be GxB_HYPER_DEFAULT at
// startup by GrB_init, and can then be modified globally with
// GxB_Global_Option_set.  All new matrices are created with the same
// hyper_switch.  Once a particular matrix has been constructed, its
// hyper_switch can be modified from the default with GxB_Matrix_Option_set.
// GrB_Vectors are never stored as hypersparse.

// A new matrix created via GrB_Matrix_new starts with k=0 and is created in
// hypersparse form unless (n <= 1 || 0 > hyper_switch) holds, where
// hyper_switch is the global default value.  GrB_Vectors are always
// non-hypersparse.

// To force a matrix to always stay non-hypersparse, use hyper_switch = -1 (or
// any negative number).  To force a matrix to always stay hypersparse, use
// hyper_switch = 1 or more.  For code readability, these values are also
// predefined for the user application as GxB_ALWAYS_HYPER and GxB_NEVER_HYPER.

// Summary for switching between formats:

// (1) by-row and by-column: there is no automatic switch between CSR/CSC.
//      By default, all GrB_Matrices are held in CSR form, unless they are
//      n-by-1 (then they are CSC).  The GrB_vector is always CSC.

// (2) If A->sparsity_control is GxB_AUTO_SPARSITY (15), then the following
//      rules are used to control the sparsity structure:
//
//      (a) When a matrix is created, it is empty and starts as hypersparse,
//          except that a GrB_Vector is never hypersparse.
//
//      (b) A hypersparse matrix with k non-empty vectors and
//          k > 2*n*A->hyper_switch is changed to sparse, and a sparse matrix
//          with k <= 1*n*A->hyper_switch is changed to hypersparse.
//          A->hyper_switch = (1/16) by default.  See GB_convert*test.
//
//      (c) A matrix with all entries present is converted to full (anz =
//          GB_nnz (A) = anz_dense = (A->vlen)*(A->vdim)).
//
//      (d) A matrix with anz = GB_nnz (A) entries and dimension A->vlen by
//          A->vdim can have at most anz_dense = (A->vlen)*(A->vdim) entries.
//          If A is sparse/hypersparse with anz > A->bitmap_switch * anz_dense,
//          then it switches to bitmap.  If A is bitmap and anz =
//          (A->bitmap_switch / 2) * anz_dense, it switches to sparse.  In
//          between those two regions, the sparsity structure is unchanged.

// Entries that are present in a GraphBLAS matrix, vector, or scalar always
// have a value, and thus the C API of GraphBLAS does not have a structure-only
// data type, where the matrix, vector, or scalar consists only of its pattern,
// with no values assign to the entries in the matrix.  Such an object might be
// useful for representing unweighted graphs, but it would result in a
// mathematical mismatch with all other objects.  Operations between valued
// matrices and structure-only matrices would not be defined.

// Instead, the common practice is to assign all entries present in the matrix
// to be equal to a single value, typically 1 or true.  SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS
// exploits this typical practice by allowing for iso matrices, where all
// entries present have the same value, held as A->x [0].  The sparsity
// structure is kept, so in an iso matrix, A(i,j) is either equal to A->x [0],
// or not present in the sparsity pattern of A.

// If A is full, A->x is the only component present, and thus a full iso matrix
// takes only O(1) memory, regardless of its dimension.

bool iso ;              // true if all entries have the same value

// The matrix can be held in 8 formats: (hypersparse, sparse, bitmap, full) x
// (CSR, CSC).  Each of these can also be iso.  The comments below
// assume A is in CSC format but the code works for both CSR and CSC.
// The type is assumed to be double, just for illustration.
