Is there any that you could build three separate vectors for the different components?  That would allow the storage from two of the vectors to be reused as-is in the CSR graph.  Otherwise, the best you can do is probably to accept an extra copy (but you should be able to get it to that using multi-pass iteration over the input vector). -- Jeremiah Willcock <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Sensei </div><div>Date:05/20/2014 9:52 AM (GMT-07:00) </div><div>To: boost-users@lists.boost.org </div><div>Subject: [Boost-users] [Graph] CSR from list of tuples </div><div> </div>Dear all, I need to construct (and use) a graph that can handle millions of nodes, with minimal overhead, and as suggested I am using a CSR graph. As I understand from the documentation, it is unmodifiable. Arcs are created at runtime in a parallel fashion, and my choice was to use a vector of std::tuple (that is, node, node, weight) with Intel's TBB. This is the problem: can I avoid temporary vectors to construct my graph? Right now the only way I see is to create the vector of arcs (as std::pair) and the vector of weights, but this is a waste of time and memory. Do you have any helpful suggestions?
