Numeric Library Bindings for Boost UBlas

Is there a binding for Intel MKL or am I just missing something? Quite strange how such well-known math library isnt one of them?

Hi,

I’m using gels, gelss and gelsd of bindings-20080816 to solve least squares problems and I noticed typename is missing.

boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/gels.hpp

Line 151

Line 180

Line 197

boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/gelss.hpp

Line 81, 123, 191, 246, 266

boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/gelsd.hpp

Line 86, 136, 217, 282, 310, 405

Cheers,

Naoki

Hi I seem to be doing something wrong here. Here is the code I’m trying to run:

namespace ublas = boost::numeric::ublas;
namespace lapack = boost::numeric::bindings::lapack;

int main()
{
  ublas::matrix<double, ublas::column_major> mme ( 3,3);
  ublas::matrix<double,ublas::column_major>temp(3,1);
  lapack::gesv(mme,temp);
}

I try to compile with the following command:

gcc  example1.cpp -o example1 -lboost_filesystem

and I get the following error message:

/tmp/ccD9EEmm.o: In function
`boost::numeric::bindings::lapack::detail::gesv(int, int, double*, int,
int*, double*, int, int*)':
example1.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost7numeric8bindings6lapack6detail4gesvEiiPdiPiS4_iS5_
[boost::numeric::bindings::lapack::detail::gesv(int, int, double*, int,
int*, double*, int, int*)]+0x59): undefined reference to `dgesv_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I see that a previous posts had a similar problem with seems related to clapack but I’m using regular lapack Any thoughts?

Thanks K

I guess it’s time for a dumb question. I’m really green on the subject so please forgive me, but is there any information on how to install the library? K

Hello,

I’m using the Bindings library in a large project to bind standard BLAS implementations to our own data types. We’re using traits definitions for this and I just noticed that there are some checks missing for the BOOST_NUMERIC_POOR_MANS_TRAITS define in blas/blas1.hpp for the functions dotu and dotc.

Here’s a quick svn diff for my fix to this.

Cheers Roel

Thanks for making this available, I’ve been using it for some time, appreciate it. Just wanted to point out that the Makefile included in your latest download does not install the .h header files (e.g. boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/lapack.h), only the .hpp files. So it’s still necessary to copy the files over manually to install.

Cheers.

hi, thanks to the person who put these bindings together. you say that this will not work with boost_1_34 and older. i google searched for boost 1.35 and did not find it. could someone pls help?

ps: here’s the problem i have:

installed atlas version 3.6.0-20.6. /usr/lib/atlas3-test runs just fine. header cblas.h and clapack.h are in /usr/include/ which is by default in my include path. i therefore changed and to and in cblas_inc.hpp and clapack_inc.hpp, respectively.

Configuration:
-I/usr/local/include/boost_1_34_1
-I/usr/local/include/boost-bindings
-L/usr/lib/atlas
-llapack
-lblas

i’m trying to run the program:

 #include <boost/numeric/bindings/atlas/clapack.hpp>
 #include <boost/numeric/bindings/traits/ublas_matrix.hpp>
 #include <boost/numeric/bindings/traits/std_vector.hpp>
// #include <atlas/cblas.h>

 namespace ublas = boost::numeric::ublas;
 namespace atlas = boost::numeric::bindings::atlas;

 int main() {
      std::size_t n = 5;
      ublas::matrix<double> a(n, n);
      // fill matrix a

      std::vector<int> ipiv (n);   // pivot vector
      atlas::lu_factor (a, ipiv);  // alias for getrf()
      atlas::lu_invert (a, ipiv);  // alias for getri()

      return 0;
 };

i get the error

Hello there,

I am planning to use that binding libraries for uBLAS for a project of mine. I am setting up an automatic configuration, and I find it easier to get the files from the CVS for I can then easily request specific versions or dates and stay on the top of it. So I would like to know the status of the boost sandbox cvs compared to the archive linked from your blog? Are they going to be kept in synch? If not, have you already incorporated changes in that archive compared to the code on the CVS? If I may voice my opinion, it seems to me it would be better to keep the CVS up-to-date…

That binding looks really mature indeed and I am looking forward to be using it. How would I cite your and your fellow collaborators work by the by? My project is an academic project, you see…

Thank you very much,

Best wishes,

Luc
