Hello,
I have a very simple sparse matrix routine (finds the largest
eigenvalue of a non-negative square matrix), which runs just fine in
maxima with gcl. ( I wrote it because I could not find such a
routine in the maxima files. Is there one?)
For testing, I tried cmucl, and the thing would not
run: stated something about being "out of heap space." There were
some arcane remarks about how to dynamically allocate more heap space
which I did not understand.
Question: Is cmucl a low end type of lisp for "teaching"?
Which of the freely available types of lisp are good for
computation?
In case anyone wants to play with other lisps and report back, I am
willing to send the program (It is called Esparse.mac). It is only
about 20 lines of code, but I don't want to pollute the mailing list
by posting it.
