C++ Libraries used in TRIQS

TRIQS libs

TRIQS itself contains a few general purpose libraries, so we of course use them.

Name	Usage, remark
triqs::arrays	multidimensional arrays. matrix, vector.
triqs::mc_tools	simple generic Monte Carlo

Do NOT use blitz++. It is added to TRIQS for legacy code, but it is planned to be removed from the project (replaced by triqs::arrays).

math

• Blas, lapack, cblas.
• GNU gsl*.
• FFTW 3

Boost

TRIQS makes a heavy use of the Boost libraries. TRIQS compile the necessary subset of boost libs at installation. The libs used in triqs are given in the following table.

NB : The following boost libs are NOT used, for various reasons : multi_array, ublas.

Name	Usage, remark
shared_ptr,scoped_ptr	smart pointers. To be prefered to raw pointers systematically.
python	to wrap C++ to python code
proto	Expression template library
random	Random number generators --> always use them rather than personal code
function	std::function in C++11 ...
mpi	A convenient layer above mpi
numeric bindings	in foreign libs since it is still in boost sandbox]
utility/*
type_traits/*
preprocessor/*	For libs writers
math/*
unordered_map	The hash table
date_time
lambda
concept_check
