Project Roadmap

[mattiaisgro]

Short term

• Find good approximations for ln() or log2() (Improve the approximation of the logarithm #33)
• Find good approximations for sin(), cos() and tan() (Improve architecture-independent implementation of tan() #26)
• Improve the approximation of atan() (Improve the precision of atan and atan2 #18)
• Write test cases for most functions

Medium term

• Move towards a mixed functional and object-oriented paradigm to mimic mathematical notation
• Make matrix and vector code independent of allocation strategy (static or dynamic) (Dynamic allocation of variable-size objects #42)
• PDE integration methods
• Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods (Metropolis-Hastings)

Long term

• Arbitrary precision types for integer and real numbers, with arbitrary precision functions
• Lazy evaluation of matrix operations
• Vectorized operations taking advantage of SSE/AVX (AVX/SSE implementation of vector and matrix operations #2)
