redsvd: RandomizED Singular Value Decomposition



redsvd is a C++ library for solving several matrix decompositions including singular value decomposition (SVD), principal component analysis (PCA), and eigen value decomposition. redsvd can handle very large matrix efficiently, and optimized for a truncated SVD of sparse matrices. For example, redsvd can compute a truncated SVD with top 20 singular values for a 100K x 100K matrix with 1M nonzero entries in less than one second.
The algorithm is based on the randomized algorithm for computing large-scale SVD. Although it uses randomized matrices, the results is very accurate with very high probability.

It is evidently featured in the Matrix Factorization Jungle page.
