LinAl was designed to bring together C++ and FORTRAN. At the same time LinAl is supposed to be easy to use, fast, and reasonably safe.

LinAl library is based on STL techniques and uses the STL containers for the storage of matrix data and STL algorithms where feasible.

Low level, algebraic operators, linear solvers, and eigenvalue solvers are implemented, based on calls to BLAS, LAPACK, and CGSOLX.

At the same time LinAl is supposed to be easy to use, fast and, to a certain extent, type save. While certain compromises were made in the class layout and design, strong emphasis was put on simplicity and speed.

The library is based on STL techniques and uses STL containers for the storage of matrix data furthermore STL algorithms are used where feasible. Low level, algebraic operators as well as linear solvers and eigenvalue solvers are implemented, based on calls to BLAS, LAPACK and CGSOLX and LANCZOS. These packages can be found on netlib.

Interested? Fantastic, download the package, get them compiler hummin' and see what's this all about. Problems? That's what the mailing list is for. So what are you waiting for?
