I think eigen library also headers only managed to strike a nice balance between templates, speed and usability. Boost has some useful and convenient macros which we will discuss first. Googling for this turns up a few code snippets, but its best to document this completely here now since i got it. I think this package maybe deserves some attention. For convenience i wrote my own matrix class whose functions wrap around the blas function calls from the mkl library. Subscribe to ublas by filling out the following form. Views into vectors and matrices can be constructed via ranges, slices, adaptor classes and indirect arrays. January 2003 trevor hastie, stanford university 2 outline model averaging bagging boosting history of boosting stagewise additive modeling boosting and logistic regression mart boosting and over.
Googling for this turns up a few code snippets, but its best to document this completely here now since i got it to work, and it will be useful for opencamlib sooner or later. Understanding boost power stages in switchmode power. This is a wonderful reference book for some of the more advanced libraries from the boost organization. Boost includes the ublas linear algebra library faster alternative libraries include armadillo and eigen, with blas support for vectors and matrices. There is also an active ublas mailing list where ublas specific user and development questions are answered. The code will have to be thoroughly documented and a tutorial document provided.
The design and implementation unify mathematical notation via operator overloading and efficient code generation via expression templates. The libraries are platform independent and support most popular compilers, as well as many that are less well known. Mar 24, 20 the documentation for the boost ublas is available at. The latest stable release of ublas is part of the boost libraries. The boost library is very widely used for software development, and the boost. Since i already use some components of the boost library, i would like to replace my matrix class with the boostnumericublasmatrix class.

We describe some other standardization e orts that extend the blas in section6. When it comes to matrix computation, there are basically to solution. The documentation for the boost ublas is available at example in this kb article demonstrates how to overload p rod function for substituting ublas dense matrixmatrix multiplication with the intel mkl gemm calls. This unique capability is achieved by storing energy in an inductor and releasing it to the load at a higher. Elements are constructed by a, which need not initialise their value template parameters. However, programmers need to know the basic bottlenecks in order to leverage full performance. The smart pointers are probably the most popular objects in boost. Visit the effective ublas wiki for up to date information and contributions. Asio may be used to perform both synchronous and asynchronous operations on io objects such as sockets. In particular, armadillo can be used for fast prototyping and computationally intensive experiments, while at the same time allowing for relatively painless transition of research code into production environments. I found the learning curve for the bgl to be very steep, one of the very few parts of boost that is like that.
