The method obtains a slightly better behavior than CSR-vector by padding rows with zeros to increase data regularity, using parallel reduction techniques, and prefetching data to hide global memory accesses.

Efficient CSR-Based Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication on GPU

Threads may access a few kinds of GPU memory: global memory (big latency, read-write), shared memory (on-chip, low latency, limited to 16/48kB per block), texture memory (low latency, read-only), and registers (low latency).
