+Differences with other sparse matrix packages are:

+@enumerate
+@item it only supports (essentially) one sparse matrix format;
+@item it is based on transparent and simple structure(s);
+@item it is tailored for MCMC calculations within G(M)RF;
+@item and it is fast and scalable (with the extension package @code{spam64}).
