As such, C++ compilers which do not +fully implement the C++ standard may not work correctly. + +The functionality of Armadillo is partly dependent on other libraries: +LAPACK, BLAS and ARPACK. The LAPACK and BLAS libraries are used for +dense matrices, while the ARPACK library is used for sparse matrices. +Armadillo can work without these libraries, but its functionality +will be reduced. In particular, basic functionality will be available +(eg. matrix addition and multiplication), but things like eigen +decomposition or matrix inversion will not be. Matrix multiplication +(mainly for big matrices) may not be as fast. + +As Armadillo is a template library, we recommended that optimisation +is enabled during compilation of programs that use Armadillo. +For example, for GCC and Clang compilers use -O2 or -O3 |
