Re: [boost] [gsoc] fixed size matrix class? (was: Interest check for 3d geometry proposal)

I think a fixed-size matrix class would be a great GSoC project. Or base of a larger project for the really ambitious student :). Many extra points if it is able to piggy-back on Joel's SIMD library. Lack of good fixed-size support is one reason I abandoned uBLAS. Who and why would use the fixed size matrix class?

This seems like a strange question coming from a game developer. Fixed-size matrix can be dramatically more efficient since you can stack-allocate it and make optimal use of SIMD instructions. I use Eigen2's fixed-size vectors/matrices all the time. Patrick
