About:
Blitz++ is a high-performance C++ library for multi-dimensional array operations, focusing on array expression optimization and lazy evaluation. It provides dense arrays and vectors with a syntax similar to APL or Matlab, enabling efficient scientific computing without sacrificing ease of use. The library's template metaprogramming techniques optimize away abstraction penalties at compile time.

Key Features:

Expression templates for optimized operations
Multi-dimensional arrays with arbitrary dimensionality
STL-compatible interface and iterators
Compile-time optimization with minimal runtime overhead

Use Cases:

Scientific computing and numerical analysis
Image processing and computer vision applications
Physics simulations requiring multi-dimensional data structures
Machine learning algorithm development

Alternatives:

Eigen – More widely used, better maintained, includes linear algebra solvers
Armadillo – Higher-level interface, integrates with LAPACK/BLAS, easier syntax for linear algebra
