Port for Acorn RISC Machines by Paul Field
Meschach is a library of C routines for performing calculation on matrices and vectors. For more information read the ReadMe file in the Meschach directory and the files in the DOC directory.
To use the library just link with 'Mesacharch:o.mescharch'.
A manual for an older version of Meschach has been included in the Book directory but it is in DVI format and needs a program such as !DVIview to display it. !DVIview is available from various ftp sites or from me (see address below) - just send me 3 formatted discs and an SAE.
N.B.
----
The Acorn version of Meschach could be made rather more efficient by playing with the time-critical routines in 'machine.c'. To begin with I haven't checked whether unrolling loops gives a speed increase. Beyond that, the routines could be converted into assembler: using LFM and SFM to read multiple registers in one instruction is one way to improve speed.
Unfortunately, I haven't got the time to do this myself.
