<div>cuSPARSE does support block compressed sparse row (BAIJ) format, but we don't currently support that cuSPARSE functionality in PETSc. It should be easy to add, but we are currently refactoring the way we interface with third party GPU libraries such as
cuSPARSE, and it would probably make more sense to add this support after that refactor is done. Do you need this right away, or could it wait maybe a few weeks until this is completed?</div>

You would need to investigate if the Nvidia cuSPARSE package supports such a format. If it does then it would be reasonably straightforward for you to hook up the required interface from PETSc. If it does not then it is a massive job to provide such code
and you should see if any open source packages provide such CUDA support and then you could hook PETSc up to use that.<br>
