Introduction
The binsparse protocol is meant to be a specification for on-disk storage of ND sparse arrays. It requires just two things from a back-end implementing it:
a. A way to store 1D and 2D (dense) arrays (we have this via DLPack)
b. A way to parse and interpret JSON (we have this via the
jsonmodule)Psuedocode implementation
Here's a psuedocode example using two libraries,
xp1andxp2, both supporting sparse arrays:Compare this to the following example converting SciPy COO arrays to PyData/Sparse:
Parallel implementation in
sparse: pydata/sparse#764Parallel implementation in SciPy: scipy/scipy#22553
