[infomap-nlp-users] spare matrix format

[<lei...@gm...>]

Hi!

Infomap is now using ordinary C-matrices with 4 bytes per cell. Has
anyone tried to rewrite the matrix handling code using a spare matrix
format like for example Harwell-Boeing? This would make it possible to
run on a much larger vocabulary and also, not limiting the matrix size
in the second dimension.

I would like to run it on 500 million running words or so, which leads
to 3.5 million word types...

What do you developers think? How big would that task be?
