cacharr

CachedNDArray - data structure that allows to deal with large N-dimensional arrays through caching method:

Allows to avoid Matlab out-of-memory error by caching large array into several files on hard disk and then reading the necessary chunks using memmapfile function.
The data structure is inherited from handle abstract class which avoids parameter-by-value and supports parameter-by-reference.
Supports two types of movements - continuous (very slow) and discrete (fast); the former might have no more than two file to represent a chunk; while the latter means the data is processed chunk-after-chunk, and each chunk is represented strictly as a single file.
Caching flag can be set to either manual or automatic mode. If no caching is needed to perform, the CachedNDArray is treated like a normal Matlab array.
Automatic or manual dimension breakage into number of chunks.
