Hi all, A few months ago I was involved in a similar effort, and I think the code is still around. Unfortunately a management decision cancelled it pretty soon, in the early stages of infancy, so to speak... If someone's interested just say so. Regards, Alfred. -- Alfredo Solano Martinez

Apparently Blitz++ hasn't seen much development. Some parts of boost might become part of the new C++ standard. Concerning Valarrays, according to Josuttis[1] valarrays weren't very well defined. Apparently the guys who designed valarray left the C++ committee long before the standard was finishe

I use TNT extensively and I like it very much at least as a container for arrays. Another alternative that is much larger and much more complete is uBlas. It provides interfaces using expression templates for all sorts of matrices (full, sparse, etc) but I haven't used it. Apparently it even includ

TNT looks very tempting. However - I thought of a combination of GSL and TNT. GSL, after all, has a very large set of tools in many math disciplines. I, for instance, needed the ODE and quadrature integration parts, and not the BLAS part (well, not explicitly, that is...). The basic idea is to wri

Actually, the google summer of code is not a bad idea! Perhaps it is worthwhile pursuing. Though the application starts tomorrow - not sure I'll have the time for it. Also - I have found one of those attempts to make direct replacements of GSL (and CERNLIB) in C++ http://tharkad.pa.msu.edu/~astein
