I am pleased to announce a first public release of new *very fast *native matrix and linear algebra library for Clojure based on ATLAS BLAS. Extensive *documentation* is at http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org See the benchmarks at http://neanderthal.uncomplicate.org/articles/benchmarks.html.
Neanderthal is a Clojure library that Main project goals are: - Be as fast as native ATLAS even for linear operations, with no copying overhead. It is roughly 2x faster than jBLAS for large matrices, and tens of times faster for small ones. Also faster than core.matrix for small and large matrices! - Fit well into idiomatic Clojure - Clojure programmers should be able to use and understand Neanderthal like any regular Clojure library. - Fit well into numerical computing literature - programmers should be able to reuse existing widespread BLAS and LAPACK programming know-how and easily translate it to Clojure code. Implemented features - Data structures: double vector, double general dense matrix (GE); - BLAS Level 1, 2, and 3 routines; - Various Clojure vector and matrix functions (transpositions, submatrices etc.); - Fast map, reduce and fold implementations for the provided structures. On the TODO list - LAPACK routines; - Banded, symmetric, triangular, and sparse matrices; - Support for complex numbers; - Support for single-precision floats. Call for help: Everything you need for Linux is in Clojars. If you know your way around gcc on OS X, or around gcc and MinGW on Windows, and you are willing to help providing the binary builds for those (or other) systems, please contact me. There is an automatic build script, but gcc, atlas and other build tools need to be properly set up on those systems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
