Gilles commented on MATH-717:
-----------------------------
bq. Last but not the least, do you think it's worth adding 'revised simplex
method' to CM for solving a typical linear programming? [...]
Please post this question on the "dev" ML, where it will catch the attention of
more people.
If what you propose "is proven to be faster", I'm sure that it will be welcome.
And if its implementation would require changes in the existing API, _now_ is
the time to do it, before the upcoming release of CM version 3.
Thanks.

> 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
> Labels: features
>
> 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 severely. 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.
