Re: [apple scitech] Accelerate Framework: Calculate Determinant



If all your matrices are 4 x 4, then it would be beneficial to write a special routine just for that size - purely algebraic, instead of searching for pivots, reshuffling coordinates, etc.

Hello,

I want to know the fastest way to calculate the determinant of a 4x4 matrix on the Mac? Can the accelerate framework help here?

Currently, I link to GNU Scientific Library's (GSL) cblas, which operate on gsl_matrix data-types. Would linking to the Apple library be a better idea?

From profiling, my code spends ~30% of it's time calculating determinants.

Cheers,

Dan.
