what does row oriented and column oriented mean in matrix

307 Views Asked by At

I am reading the paper "Numerics of Gram Schmidt orthogonal", Then I noticed there are some terminologies that I can't understand which are "row-oriented" and "column-oriented" located at P299 in the paper.

the original sentence is "In row-oriented MGS a sequence of matrices, A=A1, A2, ..., An is computed...".

I googled and found that "row/column-oriented" is mainly used in databases. one prone-understandable source is this post.

Then I found that "row/column-major" in matrix theory which I can understand is the store-type in your computer that can be found in this post. based on the context of where it appears in the paper I am pretty sure "row/column-oriented" is not "row/column-major". (If so why does the algorithm still access data by column in the "row_oriented" matrix?)
