Description

CUSPARSE's API coverage is fairly limited, e.g. sparse*sparse isn't supported, leading to bugs filed like https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/issues/1264. Instead of silently allowing those operations, maybe we should consider throwing an error a la CUSPARSE does not support this operation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the CUSPARSE API coverage in CUDA.jl and add error throwing for unsupported operations like sparse*sparse.
