Here is an article about template-meta-programming and numerical algorithms. It illustrates how one can construct an numerical algorithm during compile-time. The example for this technique is the family of explicit Runge-Kutta solvers for ordinary differential equation.

Sorry, it is only in German.
A few days ago, I played around with proto, a C++ library the for construction and evaluation of expression trees. I wanted to write a small application allowing me to write classical vector operations in a neat way like b+2*c+d*e. With proto this is possible with only a few lines of code. Surprisingly, it turned out that the run-time performance for large expressions was about 10 to 20 percent better than a naive implementation. Continue reading
This post is more or less for my archive. It shows how to implement a mini progress display which can be used in console applications. It does not work in all console applications, especially if the output is piped to some files. Continue reading
Sure, that is the motivation for this page.
