Title: 32-Bit Floats
Version: 0.3-3
Description: R comes with a suite of utilities for linear algebra with
        "numeric" (double precision) vectors/matrices. However,
        sometimes single precision (or less!) is more than enough for a
        particular task.  This package extends R's linear algebra
        facilities to include 32-bit float (single precision) data.
        Float vectors/matrices have half the precision of their
        "numeric"-type counterparts but are generally faster to
        numerically operate on, for a performance vs accuracy
        trade-off.  The internal representation is an S4 class, which
        allows us to keep the syntax identical to that of base R's.
        Interaction between floats and base types for binary operators
        is generally possible; in these cases, type promotion always
        defaults to the higher precision.  The package ships with
        copies of the single precision 'BLAS' and 'LAPACK', which are
        automatically built in the event they are not available on the
        system.
