This package consists of a small extension library of optimized sparse matrix operations with autograd support. This package currently consists of the following methods:
All included operations work on varying data types and are implemented both for CPU and GPU. To avoid the hazzle of creating torch.sparse_coo_tensor
, this package defines operations on sparse tensors by simply passing index
and value
tensors as arguments (with same shapes as defined in PyTorch). Note that only value
comes with autograd support, as index
is discrete and therefore not differentiable.
We provide pip wheels for all major OS/PyTorch/CUDA combinations, see here.
To install the binaries for PyTorch 2.8.0, simply run

Note: Binaries of older versions are also provided for PyTorch 1.4.0, PyTorch 1.5.0, PyTorch 1.6.0, PyTorch 1.7.0/1.7.1, PyTorch 1.8.0/1.8.1, PyTorch 1.9.0, PyTorch 1.10.0/1.10.1/1.10.2, PyTorch 1.11.0, PyTorch 1.12.0/1.12.1, PyTorch 1.13.0/1.13.1, PyTorch 2.0.0/2.0.1, PyTorch 2.1.0/2.1.1/2.1.2, PyTorch 2.2.0/2.2.1/2.2.2, PyTorch 2.3.0/2.3.1, PyTorch 2.4.0/2.4.1, and PyTorch 2.5.0/2.5.1 (following the same procedure). For older versions, you need to explicitly specify the latest supported version number or install via pip install --no-index
in order to prevent a manual installation from source. You can look up the latest supported version number here.
Ensure that at least PyTorch 1.7.0 is installed and verify that cuda/bin
and cuda/include
are in your $PATH
and $CPATH
respectively, e.g.:
$ python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"
>>> 1.7.0
$ echo $PATH
>>> /usr/local/cuda/bin:...
$ echo $CPATH
>>> /usr/local/cuda/include:...
If you want to additionally build torch-sparse
with METIS support, e.g. for partioning, please download and install the METIS library by following the instructions in the Install.txt
file. Note that METIS needs to be installed with 64 bit IDXTYPEWIDTH
by changing include/metis.h
. Afterwards, set the environment variable WITH_METIS=1
.
Then run:
pip install torch-scatter torch-sparse
When running in a docker container without NVIDIA driver, PyTorch needs to evaluate the compute capabilities and may fail. In this case, ensure that the compute capabilities are set via TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST
, e.g.:
export TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="6.0 6.1 7.2+PTX 7.5+PTX"
torch_sparse.coalesce(index, value, m, n, op="add") -> (torch.LongTensor, torch.Tensor)
Row-wise sorts index
and removes duplicate entries. Duplicate entries are removed by scattering them together. For scattering, any operation of torch_scatter
can be used.
"add"
)import torch from torch_sparse import coalesce index = torch.tensor([[1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]]) value = torch.Tensor([[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5], [5, 6], [6, 7]]) index, value = coalesce(index, value, m=3, n=2)

torch_sparse.transpose(index, value, m, n) -> (torch.LongTensor, torch.Tensor)
Transposes dimensions 0 and 1 of a sparse matrix.
False
, will not coalesce the output. (default: True
)import torch from torch_sparse import transpose index = torch.tensor([[1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]]) value = torch.Tensor([[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5], [5, 6], [6, 7]]) index, value = transpose(index, value, 3, 2)

Sparse Dense Matrix Multiplication
torch_sparse.spmm(index, value, m, n, matrix) -> torch.Tensor
Matrix product of a sparse matrix with a dense matrix.
import torch from torch_sparse import spmm index = torch.tensor([[0, 0, 1, 2, 2], [0, 2, 1, 0, 1]]) value = torch.Tensor([1, 2, 4, 1, 3]) matrix = torch.Tensor([[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]]) out = spmm(index, value, 3, 3, matrix)
print(out)
tensor([[7.0, 16.0],
[8.0, 20.0],
[7.0, 19.0]])
Sparse Sparse Matrix Multiplication
torch_sparse.spspmm(indexA, valueA, indexB, valueB, m, k, n) -> (torch.LongTensor, torch.Tensor)
Matrix product of two sparse tensors. Both input sparse matrices need to be coalesced (use the coalesced
attribute to force).
True
, will coalesce both input sparse matrices. (default: False
)import torch from torch_sparse import spspmm indexA = torch.tensor([[0, 0, 1, 2, 2], [1, 2, 0, 0, 1]]) valueA = torch.Tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) indexB = torch.tensor([[0, 2], [1, 0]]) valueB = torch.Tensor([2, 4]) indexC, valueC = spspmm(indexA, valueA, indexB, valueB, 3, 3, 2)
print(indexC)
tensor([[0, 1, 2],
[0, 1, 1]])
print(valueC)
tensor([8.0, 6.0, 8.0])
torch-sparse
also offers a C++ API that contains C++ equivalent of python models. For this, we need to add TorchLib
to the -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
(run import torch; print(torch.utils.cmake_prefix_path)
to obtain it).
mkdir build
cd build
# Add -DWITH_CUDA=on support for CUDA support
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="..." ..
make
make install
