C++ Memory Efficient Solution for Ax=b Linear Algebra System

I am using Numeric Library Bindings for Boost UBlas to solve a simple linear system. The following works fine, except it is limited to handling matrices A(m x m) for relatively small 'm'. In practice I have a much larger matrix with dimension m= 10^6 (up to 10^7). Is there existing C++ approach for solving Ax=b that uses memory efficien...

It seems that many projects slowly come upon a need to do matrix math, and fall into the trap of first building some vector classes and slowly adding in functionality until they get caught building a half-assed custom linear algebra library, and depending on it.

The distribution that comes from Yahoo is a 0.20 (with yahoo patches), which is apparently "the way to go". From cloudera they state the 0.20 (with cloudera patches) is also stable. Now given the fact that we'll start ...
