I doubt seriously that Samsara will support matrix inversion per se. The problem is a) it densifies sparse matrices b) it is much more costly than solving a linear system Samsara is roughly memory based, but different back-ends will try to spill to disk if necessary. It is likely that the

If there's a need for inversion that's good info; would love to know the purpose to get a sense of how people want to use the product. On Saturday, October 3, 2015, Allen McIntosh wrote: > Can you explain why you feel you must invert a very large matrix. This > can be
