A varied class of Array2DRowRealMatrix is needed to contain float type instead
of double.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MATH-717
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-717
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2
Environment: All
Reporter: Dusan Ku
The current implementation of Array2DRowRealMatrix takes only double type as
its base element value in the matrix.
However, the memory size of double is bigger than float, the downside of which
makes the matrix dimension quite limited, compared to float type as its base
element type. For small sized problem, this does not make such a big
difference, but for large problems, this limits the usability of this library
quite limited. In my case, I easily hit an error even after I increase the
memory option to 1G. This could have been much more enhanced just by using
'float[][]' instead of the current Array2DRowRealMatrix.
Therefore, the solution I may suggest is to add another class similar to
Array2DRowRealMatrix containing float type for its matrix variable instead of
double. Of course, a better way is welcome as long as the needs can be
fulfilled.
