Hi, A good alternative is to call the ATLAS CLAPACK/CBLAS DLL's directly from your c/c++ code. The only reason for using another layer on top of these libraries is too assist with the construction of the matrices, arithmetic operations, marshalling and I/O. You will need to look closely at the BLAS/LAPACK documentation at netlib to understand the various API's. With this approach you are not locked into c/c++. Calling CLAPACK/CBLAS from C# works well. ATLAS supports both row and column major type matrices. The matrix must be marshalled as a continuous array. Initially the CLAPACK/CBLAS interface looks complex, but after the initial hurdle is passed life is pretty straight forward. Looked and BLITZ and TNT but decided there seemed to be too much hype and not much documentation. LAPACK++ might be worth a try. Calling ATLAS CLAPACK/CBLAS DLL's directly works fine for me, but it really depends upon your requirements.

Is it actually worth using boost ublas/lapack-bindings or is there a better alternative? (TNT/JAMA, blitz, gmm,...)
