Using juce::Array as a container for Eigen::MatrixXf?

General JUCE discussion
1

I'm implmenting a linear algebra algorithm for a JUCE processor.

 

There is one version of the algorithm for one channel of data. The processing requires several 2D matrices as class members as well as juce::Array<Eigen::Xf> for some arrays of matrices.

 

The final processor needs to work on four channels of data. There, the processing would require the 2D matrices to be 3D and the juce::Array<Eigen::Xf> to become juce::Array<juce::Array<Eigen::Xf>> to account for the additional channel index.

This feels very ugly to me. I'm also worried if access/read/write will be efficient.

Thoughts if I should go on like this? Any better kind of container? None of the matrices will be larger than 40x40. The Matrices that will be contained inside the juce or double-juce containers would be 5x5 at most.

Thanks.

 

P.S. I've also tried using the Armadillo library for their arma::field and arma::cube classes, but the program turns out to be much slower compared to Eigen.

 

P.P.S  Here's a portion of the class:

    SpikeSorter();
    ~SpikeSorter(){ }
