Example Fixed Sized Matrices

Array access adds a significant amount of overhead to matrix operations. A fixed sized matrix gets around that issue by having each element in the matrix be a variable in the class. EJML provides support for fixed sized matrices and vectors up to 6x6, at which point it loses its advantage. The example below demonstrates how to use a fixed sized matrix and convert to other matrix types in EJML.

Example
/**
* In some applications a small fixed sized matrix can speed things up a lot, e.g. 8 times faster. One application
* which uses small matrices is graphics and rigid body motion, which extensively uses 3x3 and 4x4 matrices. This
* example is to show some examples of how you can use a fixed sized matrix.
