Hi Xiangrui,
I didn't have internet for the past few days. Can I help with this issue?
> Implement some basic linalg operations in MLlib
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-2923
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2923
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: Xiangrui Meng
> Assignee: Xiangrui Meng
>
> We use breeze for linear algebra operations. Breeze operations are
> user-friendly but there are some concerns:
> 1. creating temp objects, e.g., `val z = a * x + b * y`
> 2. multi-method is not used in some operators, e.g., `axpy`. If we pass in
> SparseVector as a generic Vector, it will use activeIterator, which is slow
> 3. calling native BLAS if it is available, which might not be good for
> level-1 methods
> Having some basic BLAS operations implemented in MLlib can help simplify the
> current implementation and improve some performance.
