OxiCUDA Solver - GPU-accelerated matrix decompositions (cuSOLVER equivalent)
Documentation
//! Pivot selection and row swapping for partial pivoting.
//!
//! These helpers are used by LU factorization and other decompositions
//! that require row pivoting for numerical stability. The pivot search
//! delegates to BLAS `iamax` for finding the maximum absolute value, and
//! the row swap is performed by a dedicated PTX kernel.
