Feature list
Frameworks
.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, available soon: mono 1.2.3
Languages
all CLI conform: C# (recommended), managed C++, Visual Basic ...
Array objects
- Full OO class design
- Generic typed container classes
- single object for arbitrary array dimensions: scalar, vector, matrices, n-dim arrays
- full support for flexible array modification: subarray-/ creation, concatenation, dimension removal, serialization
- automated reference management: copy memory only if really needed
- support for cells and logical arrays
Numerics
- Supports all numeric types as array elements: double, float, complex, fcomplex, int16, int32, int64, uint16, uint32, uint64, char, byte, bool
- operator overloads (A + B,...)
- static operator functions (f.e. Add(a,b))
- support for special numeric states (NaN, +/-Inf)
Processor specific optimizations
- BLAS, LAPACK
- AMD: ACML, Intel: MKL, general: netlib
- Automated detection
Algebraic functions
- abs
- acos
- add
- all
- any
- asin
- (more...)
Linear algebra
- matrix multiply, -inverse, -pseudo inverse
- linear equation solver
- decompositions: LU,QR,SVD,Cholesky
- eigenvalues, eigenvectors
Fourier transforms
- 1,2,3...n dimensional
- transforms forward & backwards
- supported libraries: Intel MKL, AMD ACML, FFTW3
- 100% octave/Matlab/Scilab compatible interface
Sorting
- Sorting of strings (lexicographical, bucket sort)
- Sorting of numeric data (quick sort)
- generic sorting of arbitrary user defined types
by definable keymapper (bucket sort)
Error handling
- typed exceptions
Algorithm base classes
- synchronous / asynchronous
- easily extendable for user defined derived algorithms
- full Windows.Forms.Control compatible multiple thread eventing support
Visualizations
- Plot panels, derived from Windows.Forms.Control
- Plot dialog forms
- 1D, 2D, 3D data plots
- Based on OpenGL. (DirectX: deprecated)
- Highly configurable graphs/figure properties
- Automatic user interaction: rotation, zoom, auto axis scaling
Miscellaneous
- Visual Studio 2005(R) AddIn: extends watch tool window
- import from / export to Matlab(R) *.mat files
- syntax vastly compatible to Matlab(R) (function naming, parameter)
- determination of extended machine properties, numerical constants
- Memory pool: automated recycling of large objects
