# MatCUSPARSESetFormat
Sets the storage format of `MATSEQCUSPARSE` matrices for a particular operation. Only the `MatMult()` operation can use different GPU storage formats 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode MatCUSPARSESetFormat(Mat A, MatCUSPARSEFormatOperation op, MatCUSPARSEStorageFormat format)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***A -*** Matrix of type `MATSEQAIJCUSPARSE`
- ***op -*** `MatCUSPARSEFormatOperation`. `MATSEQAIJCUSPARSE` matrices support `MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT` and `MAT_CUSPARSE_ALL`.
`MATMPIAIJCUSPARSE` matrices support `MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_DIAG`,`MAT_CUSPARSE_MULT_OFFDIAG`, and `MAT_CUSPARSE_ALL`.
- ***format -*** `MatCUSPARSEStorageFormat` (one of `MAT_CUSPARSE_CSR`, `MAT_CUSPARSE_ELL`, `MAT_CUSPARSE_HYB`.)
