+   using blaze::DynamicMatrix;
+   using blaze::DynamicVector;
+   using blaze::CompressedVector;

+// In this example it is not intuitively apparent that using a row-major matrix is not the best
+// possible choice in terms of performance since the computation cannot be vectorized. Choosing
+// a column-major matrix instead, however, would enable a vectorized computation. Therefore
+// \b Blaze exploits the fact that \c A is symmetric, selects the best suited storage order and
