1638 :: How are sequences positioned in memory?

  Are they contiguous? I ask because I need to do some matrix multiplication, and knowing how the matrices are placed in memory is important.

  It depends on what kind of sequence you have. Given the type:

  type Blah = Object
  Run

  seq[ref Blah]
  Run

  is not going to be contiguous, but

  seq[Blah]
  Run

  will

  Thanks a lot, exactly what I wanted to know.

  Shameless plug: if you need matrix multiplication, you may want to have a look at my linalg library, that delegates to (various implementations of) BLAS or cuBLAS and provides a Nim DSL on top of it, which includes dimension checking
