Definitively. That could even be a great addition to Boost.uBLAS. It's common practice in Matlab and R to generate random matrices. However I think you're library could either be independant or part of another one that is more generic (Boost.Range ? Boost.Containers ?) as its purpose extend well over simply generating blocks and random values. Best, David On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Fabian Bösch <boeschf@student.ethz.ch>wrote:
Dear Boost community
I am developing a library which extends the STL generate algorithm. It's aim is to improve performance for highly optimized (e.g. vectorized) generation mechanisms while it retains the same interface.
This is especially useful when dealing with random number generation as there are several libraries (e.g. Intel MKL or AMD ACML) which provide means to generate a block of random values at once. However, the current STL generate algorithm is not able to cope with such "range generation".
Is there any interest in a such a library for Boost?
Cheers, Fabian Bösch
