Hi all:
>It seems to be a fact that numerically intensive code spends a lot of time performing matrix maths.
One more example (besides DSP) that this statement is not always correct is in finite element method. For small to medium size problems (less than a few thousands d.o.f.), more time (at least many folds) is spend on computing components of element stiffness matrix, not on solving matrix problem of the global stiffness matrix.
Thanks,
