I am updating the science collection to release shortly after the release of Racket. One thing I am doing is using the expanded set of unsafe operations where practical - I was only using the basic operations before. When I started using the original unsafe operations, I looked into using flvectors for some internal data structures, but they turned out to be less efficient at the time than regular vectors (that happen to contain floats).<br>
<br>1) Would we expect the flvector (or fl64vector) implementations to be more efficient now? Or, at sometime in the (near) future?<br><br>2) I assume flvectors are 32-bit floats and fl64vectors are 64-bit floats. Is this correct? Is there any significant difference in efficiency of one over the other - particularly wrt unsafe operations?<br>
<br>3) Would it be possible for scheme/flonum to export fl64vectors as well as flvectors - instead of directly requiring scheme/foreign?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Doug<br>
