MtxVec Release History

Technical note for MtxVec v6.2.5. (September 2024):

Debugger visualizer v2:

  • MtxVec packages may not be installed with range-checking enabled. The build tool will respect this. An immediate crash is possible otherwise.
  • The use of “IDE Fix pack” packages is not recommended. An immediate crash is possible.
  • Your own project needs to be compiled with “use debug dcu’s” option checked for the compiler to support all features.

Changes for MtxVec v6.2.5. (August 2024):

  • Bug fix TMtxGrid object, which had performance problems for column heavy matrices
  • Bug fix for TVec.ValuesToStrings, which had a bug for its sub-vector indexed overload.
  • Bug fix for assigning TStringList objects within script
  • Bug fix for debugger visualizer, which had its command line print output disabled (due to performance issues).
  • Important: When passing TStrings descendands to MtxVec routines like ValuesToStrings or to the Optimization routines acception "Verbose" parameter, it should be avoided to pass TRichEdit.Lines or TMemo.Lines directly. Use an intermediate object like TStringList instead. There is a substantial performance penalty otherwise.

Changes for MtxVec v6.2.4. (July 2024):

  • First release of Dew Debugger Visualizer v2.0. This is the first major overhall of the debugger visualizer since its first release in 2009. Stay tuned for a series of video clips to learn about the new features.

Scripting:

  • Added TStringList type support to TMtxExpression script. You can now call: list(i), list(2:3), or assign with list(i) = "2" or concatenate lists with [list(2:3); list(14:15)]
  • Added support to define externally owned TValueRec object as a variable in TMtxExpression script.

Changes for MtxVec v6.2.3. Applies also to update for .NET and .NET Core release v6.2.3 (May 2024):

  • New release of shared libs (*.so) for Linux based on latest Intel OneAPI 2024.1 and targeting GLIBC v2.27 or newer. This covers also RHEL v8.X and v9.X.
  • Added support for .csv and .txt file formats to TVec/TMtx/TVecInt/TMtxInt types LoadFromFile and SaveToFile methods. If the extension are not .csv or .txt, all other extensions result in binary storage.

Changes and new features of MtxVec v4.22 (May 2013):

  • Support for Delphi and C++Builder XE4.


Changes and new features of MtxVec v4.2 (October 2012):

Core product:

  • Cougar Open CL now detects also MtxVec version change and automatically rebuilds Open CL source
  • Fixed C++ function operator for sVector.
  • Fixed memory allocation for 64bit TMtx, which only allowed 32bit range.
  • Bug fix for complex version of the TMtx.SVD function.
  • Recreated and updated C++ Demo for many C++Builder versions.


Changes and new features of MtxVec v4.2 (April 2012):

  • Cougar Open CL bug fix within clPlatform initialization (ResetLength)
  • Cougar Open CL support for SetSubRange and working with subvectors and submatrices including function operator overload in C++
  • Introduction of Cougar Open CL parallel reduction based algorithms. Support for sum, norms, average, min, max, dot product, etc... known from MtxVec supported for all precisions and platforms. Parallel reduction allows non-destructive summation process and makes it possible for single precision math to achieve same or higher accuracy than double precision for algorithms relying on summation of long arrays.
  • Performance of Cougar Open CL is now completely invariant to the length of the vector or size of the matrix. The programmer needs not to worry about memory alignment or vector size.
  • Updated help and tested with XE2 Update 4 and TeeChart 2012.
  • Updated code related to Intel IPP and MKL libraries to the latest version. Note that the minimum CPU requirement has been raised by Intel to SSE2 capable CPU (P4, released in year 2000). AMD was still selling new CPUs without SSE2 in 2006. This limitation was first introduced by Intel in 2009. MtxVec v4.1 was the last version with the capability to support older CPUs (generic x86 code). The move by Intel is also the reason for 3 years of delay in the Intel related code update. The new dlls improve performance mostly for the new generation of CPUs, capable of SSE4.2 and Intel AVX instruction sets. According to Intel these can sometimes reach cca 60%. Old dlls may cause "instruction not recognized" exception on the latest generation of Intel CPUs.
