Boost Bindings update for UFsparse

Submitted by inducer on Sun, 30/04/2006 - 00:07

I have released a new version of the Boost Bindings that fixes a problem with UMFPACK now typically being packaged as part of UFsparse. While I don’t think that this kind of packaging is a smart idea, Debian has recently jumped on the bandwagon, and thus this fix is necessary. The only change is from

#include <umfpack/umfpack.h>

to

#include <umfpack.h>

to let the code find an umfpack.h that is now under a directory called ufsparse.

Note: This version diverges from boost-bindings CVS, by this one change.

Thanks a lot for providing these bindings. I have been searching now for quite some time for such linear alegbra packages for writing some machine learning toolkits.

However, one thing that I find intimidating is the usage of these entire plethora of functions that are provided. I am not able to get any good documentation of these boost bindings or even some basic tutorials on using these.

As I am new to BLAS itself, I am finding it really very hard to make out which function is available in the library that I should invoke to get my work done.

Please let me know if there is any good way /documentation of functions or atleast some tutorials on these.

I agree that the experience is daunting at first, and there’s not much documentation that’s explicitly for these bindings. However, there are some good resources for LAPACK, such as everything linked from this page. Once I locate a routine that seems useful, I typically find the LAPACK man pages pretty helpful, or the Fortran source.

I guess I am just wordily referring you to the original package’s reference documentation. :)

Good luck

Andreas
