Subject: Maximum size of matrices - msg#00038
List: lib.gsl.general
Greetings !
Is there any known maximum size of matrices for the library to still be
useful ? I am trying thinks with matrices of the order of magnitude of 16 000
per 3000, and it fails to allocate the blocks. Is this dependant on the
memory of the computer, or is this an intrinsic limitation of the library ?
Thank you very much in advance.

There is a precompiled version in Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/

Re: gsl win version
I think you can install gsl on windows thru cygwin.

gsl win version
Hi,
I new in the list. I wonder if there is a windows version for gsl. If yes,
where can I download it?
Thanks a lot.

Re: Maximum size of matrices
Well. Assuming ur datatypes are "floats" then 128 bits per float (right?),
with 16000*3000 floats means abt 1 GIG of RAM
+ ull need space in RAM for temporary work areas for the diagonalization
process that's typically goes as N^2 or some such power law, so waaay too
much I think (my numerical analysis fundas are somewhat sketchy, but I think
if ur diagonalizing matrices using Householder-type Transformations+Jacobi
rotations then space requirements go as some power law of the matrix order)
But I think that most distributive teragrids can take the load (if that's
where ur doing it).
If ur using "doubles" then out of the question in standard boxen.
