That means a lot of features which were available for sparse matrices
via the dense (and super slow) implemention are no longer available.
All features which make sense for sparse matrices (aka can be implemented efficiently) will be
implemented soon, but don't expect to see an API as rich as for the dense path.
Other changes:
* no block(), row(), col() anymore.
* instead use .innerVector() to get a col or row vector of a matrix.
* .segment(), start(), end() will be back soon, not sure for block()
* faster cwise product
* use _mm_malloc/_mm_free on other platforms than linux of MSVC (eg., cygwin, OSX)
* replace a lot of inline keywords by EIGEN_STRONG_INLINE to compensate for
poor MSVC inlining
- 33 new snippets
- unfuck doxygen output in Cwise (issues with function macros)
- more see-also links from outside, making Cwise more discoverable
* rename matrixNorm() to operatorNorm(). There are many matrix norms
(the L2 is another one) but only one is called the operator norm.
Risk of confusion with keyword operator is not too scary after all.
- added a MapBase base xpr on top of which Map and the specialization
of Block are implemented
- MapBase forces both aligned loads (and aligned stores, see below) in expressions
such as "x.block(...) += other_expr"
* Significant vectorization improvement:
- added a AlignedBit flag meaning the first coeff/packet is aligned,
this allows to not generate extra code to deal with the first unaligned part
- removed all unaligned stores when no unrolling
- removed unaligned loads in Sum when the input as the DirectAccessBit flag
* Some code simplification in CacheFriendly product
* Some minor documentation improvements
- added explicit enum to int conversion where needed
- if a function is not defined as declared and the return type is "tricky"
then the type must be typedefined somewhere. A "tricky return type" can be:
* a template class with a default parameter which depends on another template parameter
* a nested template class, or type of a nested template class
to "public:method()" i.e. reimplementing the generic method()
from MatrixBase.
improves compilation speed by 7%, reduces almost by half the call depth
of trivial functions, making gcc errors and application backtraces
nicer...
* introduce packet(int), make use of it in linear vectorized paths
--> completely fixes the slowdown noticed in benchVecAdd.
* generalize coeff(int) to linear-access xprs
* clarify the access flag bits
* rework api dox in Coeffs.h and util/Constants.h
* improve certain expressions's flags, allowing more vectorization
* fix bug in Block: start(int) and end(int) returned dyn*dyn size
* fix bug in Block: just because the Eval type has packet access
doesn't imply the block xpr should have it too.
- uses the common "Compressed Column Storage" scheme
- supports every unary and binary operators with xpr template
assuming binaryOp(0,0) == 0 and unaryOp(0) = 0 (otherwise a sparse
matrix doesnot make sense)
- this is the first commit, so of course, there are still several shorcommings !
* added MatrixBase::real()
* added the ability to extract a selfadjoint matrix from the
lower or upper part of a matrix, e.g.:
m.extract<Upper|SelfAdjoint>()
will ignore the strict lower part and return a selfadjoint.
This is compatible with ZeroDiag and UnitDiag.
* added ConjugateReturnType and AdjointReturnType that are type-defined to Derived&
and Transpose<Derived> if the scalar type is not complex: this avoids abusive copies in
the cache friendly Product
finally that's more subtle than just using ei_nested, because when
flagging with NestByValueBit we want to store the expression by value
already, regardless of whether it already had the NestByValueBit set.
* rename temporary() ----> nestByValue()
* move the old Product.h to disabled/, replace by what was ProductWIP.h
* tweak -O and -g flags for tests and examples
* reorder the tests -- basic things go first
* simplifications, e.g. in many methoeds return derived() and count on
implicit casting to the actual return type.
* strip some not-really-useful stuff from the heaviest tests
* Introduce a new highly optimized matrix-matrix product for large
matrices. The code is still highly experimental and it is activated
only if you define EIGEN_WIP_PRODUCT at compile time.
Currently the third dimension of the product must be a factor of
the packet size (x4 for floats) and the right handed side matrix
must be column major.
Moreover, currently c = a*b; actually computes c += a*b !!
Therefore, the code is provided for experimentation purpose only !
These limitations will be fixed soon or later to become the default
product implementation.
part of a matrix. Triangular also provide an optimised method for forward
and backward substitution. Further optimizations regarding assignments and
products might come later.
Updated determinant() to take into account triangular matrices.
Started the QR module with a QR decompostion algorithm.
Help needed to build a QR algorithm (eigen solver) based on it.
Currently only the following platform/operations are supported:
- SSE2 compatible architecture
- compiler compatible with intel's SSE2 intrinsics
- float, double and int data types
- fixed size matrices with a storage major dimension multiple of 4 (or 2 for double)
- scalar-matrix product, component wise: +,-,*,min,max
- matrix-matrix product only if the left matrix is vectorizable and column major
or the right matrix is vectorizable and row major, e.g.:
a.transpose() * b is not vectorized with the default column major storage.
To use it you must define EIGEN_VECTORIZE and EIGEN_INTEL_PLATFORM.
in ei_xpr_copy and operator=, respectively.
* added Matrix::lazyAssign() when EvalBeforeAssigningBit must be skipped
(mainly internal use only)
* all expressions are now stored by const reference
* added Temporary xpr: .temporary() must be called on any temporary expression
not directly returned by a function (mainly internal use only)
* moved all functors in the Functors.h header
* added some preliminaries stuff for the explicit vectorization
* added "all" and "any" special redux operators
* added support bool matrices
* added support for cost model of STL functors via ei_functor_traits
(By default ei_functor_traits query the functor member Cost)
when to evaluate arguments and when to meta-unroll.
-use it in Product to determine when to eval args. not yet used
to determine when to unroll. for now, not used anywhere else but
that'll follow.
-fix badness of my last commit
* added cache efficient matrix-matrix product.
- provides a huge speed-up for large matrices.
- currently it is enabled when an explicit unrolling is not possible.
- add cwiseExp(), cwiseLog()...
--> for example, doing a gamma-correction on a bitmap image stored as
an array of floats is a simple matter of:
Eigen::Map<VectorXf> m = VectorXf::map(bitmap,size);
m = m.cwisePow(gamma);
- apidoc improvements, reorganization of the \name's
- remove obsolete examples
- remove EIGEN_ALWAYS_INLINE on lazyProduct(), it seems useless.
internal classes: AaBb -> ei_aa_bb
IntAtRunTimeIfDynamic -> ei_int_if_dynamic
unify UNROLLING_LIMIT (there was no reason to have operator= use
a higher limit)
etc...
Finally the importing macro is named EIGEN_BASIC_PUBLIC_INTERFACE
because it does not only import the ei_traits, it also makes the base class
a friend, etc.
template parameter "Scalar" is removed. This is achieved by introducting a
template <typename Derived> struct Scalar to achieve a forward-declaration of
the Scalar typedefs.
If the number of coefficients does not match the matrix size, then an assertion is raised.
No support for xpr on the right side for the moment.
* Added support for assertion checking. This allows to test that an assertion is indeed raised
when it should be.
* Fixed a mistake in the CwiseUnary example.
- compatible with current STL's functors as well as with the extention proposal (TR1)
* thanks to the above, Cast and ScalarMultiple have been removed
* benchmark_suite is more flexible (compiler and matrix size)
* functor templates are not template template parameter anymore
(this allows to make templated functors !)
* Main page: extented compiler discussion
* A small hack to support gcc 3.4 and 4.0 (see the main page)
* Fix a cast type issue in Cast
* Various doxygen updates (mainly Cwise stuff and added doxygen groups
in MatrixBase to split the huge memeber list, still not perfect though)
* Updated Gael's email address
