Blitz++ is a high-performance vector mathematics library written in C++. This library is intended for use in scientific applications that might otherwise be implemented with Fortran or MATLAB.
Blitz++ utilizes advanced C++ template metaprogramming techniques, including expression templates, to provide speed-optimized mathematical operations on sequences of data without sacrificing the natural syntax provided by other mathematical programming systems. Indeed, it has been recognized as a pioneer in the area of C++ template metaprogramming.[1]
The most recent release of Blitz++ is version 0.9, dated October 14, 2005,[2] but development is ongoing and up-to-date versions are available through the Mercurial repository at Sourceforge.net.[3].
