At the moment it's still experimental so choices still to be made. yes, Mono is definitely worth considering -- thanks for the tip. | |
| Sep 21, 2014 at 1:49 | comment | added | J Trana | The more I read through this question, the more I'm thinking: "This is not .NET's sweet spot." Sounds like C++ is not in the works for this project though? The only other thing I can think of to even ask is if - and this is a big if - Mono is on the table as an option, would Mono.SIMD be applicable for the processing side of this application? If so, that might guide some of your data choices to align with calls there, etc. and also data access patterns. | |

| Sep 19, 2014 at 3:55 | comment | added | J Trana | Question about usage: can the operations you need be done in batches or are they required to happen one-by-one? If batches are not a good option, then crossing the managed-unmanaged boundary may prove too heavy. | |
| Sep 19, 2014 at 3:53 | comment | added | J Trana | With regards to the Array, I didn't think that value types were necessarily boxed. See here. | |
