Hi, I am a Julia/C++ developper and a total novice with apple ecosystem.
I look for examples and documentation about the SparseSolve C++ API from the Accelerate framework.
So far, I have only found Swift and Objective C documentation.
Any hint form the community ?
The Accelerate “Objective C” API is actually usable from C/C++ - it doesn’t use any Obj-C only features.

Thank you very much for your answer !
I managed to use the accelerate SparseSolve "Objective C" API from a C++ program. Just in case it maybe useful for other readers, the header files (e.g. Sparse/Solve.h) contain a lot of detailed comments and documentation.
More examples would be nice though ;)
On my first test cases, the Sparse Cholesky solver is 3-4 times faster than UMFPACK used in Julia (in double) on my M1 Max machine : great !
It seems to be sequential (110 % of CPU and 0%GPU): is it possible to improve further the performance with multi-threading ?
