Dixon, Thanks for the link. The article was useful but very broad based on all scientific applications. It has some good tips on maximizing and optimising the memory used in a virtual environment while using arrays, vectors and matrices. Though it is part of what i need, it doesn't answer my question entirely. I am also looking for improving performance in Math section of .NET libraries and if it can be made to perform comparably to C++.
William, Math.NET is a general mathematical library to perform operations of wide range. I already had a look at the Math.NET code and think that the library is not designed with speed in mind but to be a helper for applications that need to utilize some of the advanced math functions. Here is something that interested me. Extreme Optimization Mathematics Library for .NET http://www.extremeoptimization.com/Mathematics/Performance.aspx It is a commercial product but a look and an option to change the code would be much more helpful. Has anyone dealt with Vectors and Matrices extensively in any of your projects ? Do you have a C# implementation of the same and can you redirect me to a place where there is any info on that ?! Anyway, thanks a lot for the replies guys !
