Comments?
1. I think oonumerics.org has the jump on us here, though the site seems to be douwn at this moment.
2. I will be starting work on a rewrite of MTL (the Matrix Template Library) for linear algebra soon.
What do you plan for MTL? How is it different than ublas?
MTL is aimed at linear algebra, whereas IIUC ublas is not.
There's a lot more to what's in the current plan than I can lay out here, but the focus will be on support for different kinds of matrices with combinations of these aspects
o Shape o Orientation o Symmetry o Sparsity o Blocking o Upper / Lower storage o Unit diagonal o Etc.
and operations like:
o scalar-vector (vector-scalar) multiplication o vector addition (and subtraction) o apply linear operator (left) o norm o inner product o triangular solve ...
with expression templates, and of course, zero abstraction penalty ;-)
Huzzah! [sorry for the quote/post ratio, but consider the above in factor of each and every line :-) ] Hubert Holin P.S.: please include singular value decomposition.
