Subject: Maximum size of matrices - msg#00038

List: lib.gsl.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index
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.

Re: gsl win version

I think you can install gsl on windows thru cygwin. http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=gsl%2Fgsl-1.7-1&grep=gsl <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=gsl%2Fgsl-1.7-1&grep=gsl> > > On 1/25/06, Yun Li <liyunhy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I new in the list.

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. Yun Li Graduate student ISyE Georgia Tech

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.
