HCL

The Hilbert Class Library (HCL) is a collection of C++ classes which apply object-oriented programming principles to implement mathematical objects such as vectors and linear operators. We have found that HCL provides a convenient environment for implementing a variety of algorithms; its particular strength is that it allows the generic part of a program (such as optimization algorithms, linear solvers, and so forth) to be written without reference to the implementations of data structures, simulators, and other complex, application-specific details.
A central aim in designing HCL has been to avoid legislating coordinate-based representations and other idiosyncrasies that often render optimization codes unusable to those working in application areas. This design principle results in several very important capabilities, such as the ability to treat very large out-of-core data sets as vector objects, which distinguish HCL from other object oriented numerics libraries.
