Dawid Weiss commented on MAHOUT-6:
----------------------------------
If you're looking at collection implementations based on primitives then there
are a couple -- commons collections used to have one, we used pcj (primitive
collections for java) in Carrot2.
That said, on modern JVMs the speed improvement is still not that impressive
(read: minimal). I bet JVMs have good optimizations for boxed types (since they
are immutable). Feel free to check pcj, it's quite all right and the license is
permissive.

> We need matrices for Mahout.
> An initial set of basic requirements includes:
> a) sparse and dense support are required
> b) row and column labels are important
> c) serialization for hadoop use is required
> d) reasonable floating point performance is required, but awesome FP is not
> e) the API should be simple enough to understand
> f) it should be easy to carve out sub-matrices for sending to different
> reducers
> g) a reasonable set of matrix operations should be supported, these should
> eventually include:
> simple matrix-matrix and matrix-vector and matrix-scalar linear algebra
> operations, A B, A + B, A v, A + x, v + x, u + v, dot(u, v)
> row and column sums
> generalized level 2 and 3 BLAS primitives, alpha A B + beta C and A u +
> beta v
> h) easy and efficient iteration constructs, especially for sparse matrices
> i) easy to extend with new implementations
