Good to know that uBLAS is still alive :) What I like to have in uBLAS is a richer math library like we have in MATLAB/Octave. I've already begun a similar project some time ago, to use in some research project. It uses the wonderful boost-numeric_bindings libs to interface with LAPACK. Unfortunately I have too few time to maintain it and to provide boost-quality code. Anyway, if someone or some GSOC student wants to contribute, the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/sguazt/boost-ublasx Best, -- Marco _______________________________________________ ublas mailing list [email protected] http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ublas Sent to: [email protected]
