stream/test_naive_transpose.cpp

This is an example of how to use some basic algorithms from the stream package. The example transposes a 2D-matrix which is serialized as an 1D-vector.

This transpose implementation is trivial, not neccessarily fast or efficient. There are more sophisticated and faster algorithms for external memory matrix transpostion than sorting, see e.g. J.S. Vitter: Algorithms and Data Structures for External Memory, Chapter 7.2.
