Dear gmm and getfem users,

I have a question about the performance of gmm.  I had a piece of code in 
MATLAB and I need to convert to a C++ program. Personally, I found gmm very
comprehensive and tried to use it. However, I am experiencing
siginicant performance deacreas which is most probably caused by my own
mistake but I cannot see it. I would be appreciated if any of you can
help me in this regard.

My algorithm entails iterative matrix-matrix multiplication (both dense and 
sparse). Here is one of the problem I have:

Let's
assume that W is 1000000x10 matrix and H is 10x20 matrix, in MATLAB it
takes about 0.3 second to compute V = W*H but I try to do the same
product using gmm library it takes about 11.0 seconds ! Here is a
command I used to perform this task:

gmm::mult(W, H, V);

in which W, H and V are both Dense matrices:

gmm::dense_matrix< double >                       W ;          
gmm::dense_matrix< double >                       H ;       
gmm::dense_matrix< double >                       V ;           

I
tried linking to blas,  lapack and atlas by adding #define
GMM_USES_LAPACK to the program and linking to them as described in the
following link in the documentation:

but I did not see any
improvement in the performance. Since, there is suck a big gap between
MATLAB and gmm time for the product computation, I speculate that I
should have mess it up somewhere but I cannot see it. I would
appreciate if anybody can help.


Regards,
Kayhan
