array-rs

A library that provides a multidimensional array object similar to NumPy's ndarray, along with routines for basic manipulation. array-rs is brand new, currently in the version 0.0.1.

Background

Very much a WIP! Stay tuned / send suggestions!

As of Rust 0.12, there aren't any types in rust that provide the numerical computing functionality of ndarrays in Numpy. array-rs intends to provide a generic NDArray<T> class. It also provides the type Array,equivalent to NDArray<f64>.

Only Array is defined at the moment, but eventually the NDArray generic will be written, allowing other data types.

Use

Please test the Array class and report any issues to array-rs/issues!

Development

• The API should be kept as simple as possible for now, and provide only basic array manipulation. The goal is to have a stable, tested Array class.

• Numerical functionality can be added in a separate module.

• Although f128 was recently removed from the language, due to its importance to scientific computing, an NDArray<f128> type is still desirable.

• SIMD instructions for speedup
