deprecated). Basically there are now only 2 functions to set a
coefficient:
1) mat.coeffRef(row,col) = value;
2) mat.insert(row,col) = value;
coeffRef has no limitation, insert assumes the coeff has not already
been set, and raises an assert otherwise.
In addition I added a much lower level, but more efficient filling
mechanism for
internal use only.
as described on the wiki (one map per N column)
Here's some bench results for the 4 currently supported map impl:
std::map => 18.3385 (581 MB)
gnu::hash_map => 6.52574 (555 MB)
google::dense => 2.87982 (315 MB)
google::sparse => 15.7441 (165 MB)
This is the time is second (and memory consumption) to insert/lookup
10 million of coeffs with random coords inside a 10000^2 matrix,
with one map per packet of 64 columns => google::dense really rocks !
Note I use for the key value the index of the column in the packet (between 0 and 63)
times the number of rows and I used the default hash function.... so maybe there is
room for improvement here....
