I am completely new to Revolution. I have downloaded the RevMedia alpha version and played a bit with it. I was impressed by how fast I was able to port a little VB6 code to RevMedia. This code diagonalizes a symmetric matrix using the Jacobi algorithm. I checked against the VB6 code and I got exactly the same results in the same number of iterations so that numerics is the same. However the RevMedia code is at least one order of magnitude slower than the VB6 one. For instance a 50x50 matrix is diagonalized in a couple of seconds in VB6 and it tooks more than a minute on RevMedia. I know that RevMedia is not meant for numerical intensive calculations; however, I would like to use it in a scientific teaching context so some power is needed. I wonder if anybody much expert than me can try the code using the most powerful Revolution Studio and if there is a clever way to deal with matrix algebra.
