Implement addition between AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix and DenseMatrix

[Copilot]

Adds support for sparse + dense matrix addition, returning a dense matrix consistent with standard Julia SparseArrays behavior.

Implementation

• Core interface (src/core.jl): Generic +(A::AbstractDeviceSparseMatrix, B::DenseMatrix) with commutative variant, including dimension and backend compatibility checks

• Format-specific kernels: Backend-agnostic kernels for CSC, CSR, and COO formats that efficiently iterate only over sparse elements:

  • kernel_add_sparse_to_dense_csc! - column-wise iteration
  • kernel_add_sparse_to_dense_csr! - row-wise iteration
  • kernel_add_sparse_to_dense_coo! - element-wise iteration

• Helper functions: _add_sparse_to_dense! for each sparse format dispatches to appropriate kernel

• Tests: 54 tests covering all formats (CSC, CSR, COO) and backends (Array, JLArray), including commutativity and dimension validation

• Benchmarks: Added benchmark_sparse_dense_add! function to measure performance across all sparse formats (CSC, CSR, COO) and backends (Array, JLArray) with N×N matrices at 1% density (default N=10000)

Usage

using DeviceSparseArrays, SparseArrays

A = DeviceSparseMatrixCSC(sprand(100, 80, 0.1))
B = rand(100, 80)

C = A + B  # Returns dense Matrix{Float64}
C = B + A  # Commutative

Works identically across all sparse formats and backends (CPU, GPU, accelerators).

@copilot could you add also the benchmarks, following the same structure of the existing ones?

@copilot could you add also the benchmarks, following the same structure of the existing ones?

Added benchmarks in commit 93496de. The implementation follows the existing benchmark structure:

• benchmark_sparse_dense_add! function in benchmarks/matrix_benchmarks.jl
• Benchmarks all three sparse formats (CSC, CSR, COO)
• Tests both Array and JLArray backends
• Uses N×N matrices with 1% density (default N=10000)
• Integrated into benchmarks/runbenchmarks.jl for both backends

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• pkg.julialang.org
  • Triggering command: julia --project=benchmarks -e using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate() (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
