Previous works on the positive semidefinite (PSD) completion problem [cf. for example \textit{W. W. Barrett}, Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 584, 69 p. (1996; Zbl 0857.05068)] focused with determining the existence of a PSD completion of a given partial matrix, examining characteristics of the graph of the matrix. The present paper is concerned with describing the set of all PSD completions of a given partial matrix. The cases considered are quite general and the matrices have several dimensions.
