not for the moment.
In fact, there is a GSoC project for porting part of NT2 to Boost. It will
be something like Boost::SIMD I think.
So I think that would be better to integrate this future library into ublas
rather than having our own implementation.
The reason is that those guys at NT2 already have a rock-solid vector
implementations running on multiple architectures (SSE, Altivec, Cell
processor and I think ARM). So the benefit would be immediate for us.

However, I you plan to do something with OpenMP, that would be great. Eigen
has it (or some sort of multi-core capabilities).
We need that too. I would start by looking at the GNU parallel STL
implementation to have an idea.

Any suggestions ?

Cheers,
David
