- Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths) aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. It's being developed as part of the SAFE AS project in order the provide a solid backbone for computationally intensive experimentation, while at the same time allowing for relatively painless transition of research code into production environments.
- Armadillo supports integer, floating point and complex numbers, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with LAPACK and ATLAS libraries.
- A delayed evaluation approach is employed (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through recursive templates and template meta-programming.
- This library is useful if C++ has been decided as the language of choice (due to speed and/or integration capabilities), rather than another language like Matlab ® or Octave. It is distributed under a license that is useful in both open-source and commercial contexts.
