High performance computing with C++
Many people are still thinking Fortran when thinking of doing numerical
simulations of physical problems. There are many pros and cons for this
which I do not want to reproduce here. Let me just give two reasons, that
makes C++ a nice language for doing numerics as well.
- Performance problems can easily be cured by some thinking about when
data needs to be copied and when not
- Large software projects really takes advantage from the features that
OOP offers.
A high performance library for doing numerics in C++ has been designed at
the University in Dortmund, when I was graduating there. Follow the link:
