Re: [julia-users] overhead of accessing rows vs columns in SparseMatrixCSC format

Also, the general view is that new sparse matrix formats should be in 
packages rather than Base, which everyone agrees with. This would lead to 
faster development - and Base can be modified to make it easy to add new 
sparse formats.

Nobody is working on it at the moment, that I know of. We almost had a 
working version then, but it was deemed too complex to include in Base at 
that time.

Thank you for the response, I read the 2015 discussion on here about CSR 
sparse matrices, do you happen to know the implementation status on when 
this will be included?

Likely yes to both. Best to just test yourself, of course.

I'm sure you know this, but you'll want to access them through the return 
values of findnz or equivalent, not using S[i,j].

[julia-users] overhead of accessing rows vs columns in SparseMatrixCSC format

2016-03-07 Thread Anonymous
So I have a sparse matrix which doesn't get modified by for which I would 
like to access by rows, is there significantly more overhead in accessing 
rows vs columns?  If so, would it be more efficient to instead access the 
columns of its transpose?
