For most matrix applications, (compact, fast) or REG_SZ with JSON (human-readable, flexible) is preferred. 3. Encoding Matrices in the Registry 3.1 Binary Encoding (Fixed-Size Numeric Matrix) Store matrix dimensions (rows, cols) and element values in a single REG_BINARY value. memcpy(buffer.data() + 4

1. Introduction The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database used by Microsoft Windows to store low-level settings for the operating system and applications. While typically used for key-value pairs (strings, integers, binary blobs), it can also be leveraged to represent matrix structures (2D arrays) by employing systematic naming conventions, serialization techniques, or multi-key arrangements. memcpy(buffer.data() + 8

[rows:4 bytes][cols:4 bytes][data: rows×cols × element_size]

Each registry key represents a row, with values for columns.

size_t totalSize = 8 + data.size() * sizeof(float); std::vector<uint8_t> buffer(totalSize); memcpy(buffer.data(), &rows, 4); memcpy(buffer.data() + 4, &cols, 4); memcpy(buffer.data() + 8, data.data(), data.size() * sizeof(float));
