I am working on a new library. It is a computational framework where the computations follow the following pattern: - Users build a computational object by selecting the computations they are interested in (or author their own computational primimtives which fit within the framework). - Users push data into the object one sample at a time - The object computes the requested quantities in the most efficient method possible (resolving dependencies between requested calculations, cacheing intermediate results, etc.) - The object may or may not be stateful. What should such a library be called? Is there an accepted term for such a computational model? -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
