Description: 'Blaze' is an open-source, high-performance C++ math library
for dense and sparse arithmetic. With its state-of-the-art Smart Expression
Template implementation 'Blaze' combines the elegance and ease of use of a
domain-specific language with 'HPC'-grade performance, making it one of the most
intuitive and fastest C++ math libraries available. The 'Blaze' library offers:
- high performance through the integration of 'BLAS' libraries and manually
tuned 'HPC' math kernels - vectorization by 'SSE', 'SSE2', 'SSE3', 'SSSE3', 'SSE4',
'AVX', 'AVX2', 'AVX-512', 'FMA', and 'SVML' - parallel execution by 'OpenMP', C++11
threads and 'Boost' threads ('Boost' threads are disabled in 'RcppBlaze') - the
intuitive and easy to use API of a domain specific language - unified arithmetic
with dense and sparse vectors and matrices - thoroughly tested matrix and vector
arithmetic - completely portable, high quality C++ source code The 'RcppBlaze'
package includes the header files from the 'Blaze' library with disabling some
functionalities related to link to the thread and system libraries which make
'RcppBlaze' be a header-only library. Therefore, users do not need to install
'Blaze and' the dependency 'Boost'. 'Blaze' is licensed under the New (Revised)
BSD license, while 'RcppBlaze' (the 'Rcpp' bindings/bridge to 'Blaze') is licensed
under the GNU GPL version 2 or later, as is the rest of 'Rcpp'. Note that since
'Blaze' has committed to C++14 commit to C++14 which does not used by most R users
from version 3.0, we will use the version 2.6 of 'Blaze' which is C++98 compatible
to support the most compilers and system.
