Is it possible to create a distributed blockmatrix containing single precision entries in spark?
From what i gather from the documentation, the scala/java implementation of blockmatrix requires a mllib.Matrix object, which holds the values as doubles. Is there any way around this limitation?
Background: Im using GPU's to accelerate Sparks distributed matrix multiplication routines, and my GPU performs 20 times slower when multiplying double precision matrices rather than single precision matrices.
