I'm writing an application that interfaces with Mathematicas differential equation solving routines via mathlink. The equations are loaded and solved and then I need to extract the resulting interpolating functions for use in the rest of my application. At the moment, I have a mathematica function which dumps the data points, one by one, which I grab and insert into C++ objects. This works, but it's very slow on large functions - when there are 10000 data points, this takes about 30 seconds per function. I suspect the reason for the poor performance is that I'm calling too many mathlink functions - each data point is three "getpacket" calls, one for the a list header, and one for each part of the data point. Is there a way I can do this more quickly? How about exporting the whole list of points as some kind of C++ structure I can then parse with using mathlink? Does anybody know how I might do this? Thanks, Peter
