Marray: Fast Runtime-Flexible Multi-dimensional Arrays and Views in C++

Download (GitHub) • Tutorial Code • Reference manual • Technical report

Synopsis

Marray is a single header file for fast multi-dimensional arrays and views in C++. Unlike in other implementations such as boost MultiArray and Blitz++, the dimension of Marray views and arrays can be set and changed at runtime. Dimension is not a template parameter in Marray. Arrays and views that have the same type of entries but different dimension are therefore of the same C++ type (class). In conjunction with the comprehensive and convenient Marray interface, this brings some of the flexibility known from high-level languages such as Python and MATLAB to C++.

Features

Multi-dimensional arrays and views whose dimension, shape, size and indexing order (first or last coordinate major order) can be set and changed at runtime.
Access to entries via coordinates, scalar indices, STL-compliant random access iterators and C++11 initializer lists.
Arithmetic operators with expression templates and automatic type promotion.
Support for STL-compliant allocators.
HDF5 input and output, including reading and writing of hyperslabs
