  2. Matrix representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_representation

    Matrix representation is a method used by a computer language to store column-vector matrices of more than one dimension in memory. Fortran and C use different schemes for their native arrays. Fortran uses "Column Major" ( AoS ), in which all the elements for a given column are stored contiguously in memory.

  3. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    As exchanging the indices of an array is the essence of array transposition, an array stored as row-major but read as column-major (or vice versa) will appear transposed. As actually performing this rearrangement in memory is typically an expensive operation, some systems provide options to specify individual matrices as being stored transposed.

  4. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    Their memory use is typically worse than arrays, but is still linear. A two-dimensional array stored as a one-dimensional array of one-dimensional arrays (rows). An Iliffe vector is an alternative to a multidimensional array structure. It uses a one-dimensional array of references to arrays of one dimension less. For two dimensions, in ...

  5. Sparse matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_matrix

    In numerical analysis and scientific computing, a sparse matrix or sparse array is a matrix in which most of the elements are zero. [1] There is no strict definition regarding the proportion of zero-value elements for a matrix to qualify as sparse but a common criterion is that the number of non-zero elements is roughly equal to the number of ...

  6. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    A two-dimensional array stored as a one-dimensional array of one-dimensional arrays (rows) Many languages support only one-dimensional arrays. In those languages, a multi-dimensional array is typically represented by an Iliffe vector, a one-dimensional array of references to arrays of one dimension less. A two-dimensional array, in particular ...

  7. Index notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_notation

    Special (and more familiar) cases are vectors (1d arrays) and matrices (2d arrays). The following is only an introduction to the concept: index notation is used in more detail in mathematics (particularly in the representation and manipulation of tensor operations). See the main article for further details.

  8. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    It would be beneficial to allocate memory aligned to cache lines. If an array is partitioned for more than one thread to operate on, having the sub-array boundaries unaligned to cache lines could lead to performance degradation. Here is an example to allocate memory (double array of size 10) aligned to cache of 64 bytes.

  9. Data orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_orientation

    Data orientation refers to how tabular data is represented in a linear memory model such as in-disk or in-memory.The two most common representations are column-oriented (columnar format) and row-oriented (row format). [1] [2] The choice of data orientation is a trade-off and an architectural decision in databases, query engines, and numerical ...
