Reading further into the documentation, I see another misconception on my part. If I now understand correctly all the algorithms pull data from series. In the above case, with a destructive read, I think that means I could only run a single algorithm on each of the series? Would it be worth considering exposing an interface for pushing data to the algorithms?
My comment about "destructive" read shouldn't be taken to imply that it actually obliterates the data after its read. E.g., if you are using a memory mapped file as a back end, you can run a different algorithm on the same data by "resetting" the series by remapping the file. If you want to push the data, and calculate many things in one pass, the library you want to use is the Accumulators library. http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/accumulators/doc/html/ It's been accepted into Boost, but I haven't committed it to CVS yet.
It seems from your comments at the start of "Defining New TimeSeries algorithms" and the display_run example, that most of the algorithms are implemented that way anyway.
