# MatCUSPARSEFormatOperation
indicates the operation of `MATAIJCUSPARSE` (GPU) matrices whose operation should use a particular storage format. 
## Synopsis
```
typedef enum {
  MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_DIAG,
  MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_OFFDIAG,
  MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT,
  MAT_CUSPARSE_ALL
} MatCUSPARSEFormatOperation;
```

## Values

- ***`MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_DIAG` -*** sets the storage format for the diagonal matrix in the parallel MatMult
- ***`MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_OFFDIAG` -*** sets the storage format for the offdiagonal matrix in the parallel MatMult
- ***`MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT` -*** sets the storage format for the entire matrix in the serial (single GPU) MatMult
- ***`MAT_CUSPARSE_ALL` -*** sets the storage format for all `MATAIJCUSPARSE` (GPU) matrices
