Peroxide

Rust numeric library contains linear algebra, numerical analysis, statistics and machine learning tools with R, MATLAB, Python like macros.

Why Peroxide?

1. Customize features

Peroxide provides various features.

• default - Pure Rust (No dependencies of architecture - Perfect cross compilation)
• O3 - OpenBLAS (Perfect performance but little bit hard to set-up - Strongly recommend to read OpenBLAS for Rust)
• plot - With matplotlib of python, we can draw any plots.
• nc - To handle netcdf file format with DataFrame
• csv - To handle csv file format with Matrix or DataFrame
• serde - serialization with Serde.

If you want to do high performance computation and more linear algebra, then choose openblas feature. If you don't want to depend C/C++ or Fortran libraries, then choose default feature. If you want to draw plot with some great templates, then choose plot feature.

You can choose any features simultaneously.

2. Easy to optimize

Peroxide uses 1D data structure to describe matrix. So, it's too easy to integrate BLAS. It means peroxide guarantees perfect performance for linear algebraic computations.

3. Friendly syntax

Rust is so strange for Numpy, MATLAB, R users. Thus, it's harder to learn the more rusty libraries. With peroxide, you can do heavy computations with R, Numpy, MATLAB like syntax.

For example,

#[macro_use]
extern crate peroxide;
use peroxide::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // MATLAB like matrix constructor
    let a = ml_matrix("1 2;3 4");

    // R like matrix constructor (default)
    let b = matrix(c!(1,2,3,4), 2, 2, Row);

    // Or use zeros
    let mut z = zeros(2, 2);
    z[(0,0)] = 1.0;
    z[(0,1)] = 2.0;
    z[(1,0)] = 3.0;
    z[(1,1)] = 4.0;
    
    // Simple but effective operations
    let c = a * b; // Matrix multiplication (BLAS integrated)

    // Easy to pretty print
    c.print();
    //       c[0] c[1]
    // r[0]     1    3
    // r[1]     2    4

    // Easy to do linear algebra
    c.det().print();
    c.inv().print();

    // and etc.
}

4. Can choose two different coding styles.

In peroxide, there are two different options.

• prelude: To simple use.
• fuga: To choose numerical algorithms explicitly.

For examples, let's see norm.

In prelude, use norm is simple: a.norm(). But it only uses L2 norm for Vec<f64>. (For Matrix, Frobenius norm.)

#[macro_use]
extern crate peroxide;
use peroxide::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let a = c!(1, 2, 3);
    let l2 = a.norm();      // L2 is default vector norm
    
    assert_eq!(l2, 14f64.sqrt());
}

In fuga, use various norms. But you should write longer than prelude.

#[macro_use]
extern crate peroxide;
use peroxide::fuga::*;
   
fn main() {
    let a = c!(1, 2, 3);
    let l1 = a.norm(Norm::L1);
    let l2 = a.norm(Norm::L2);
    let l_inf = a.norm(Norm::LInf);
    assert_eq!(l1, 6f64);
    assert_eq!(l2, 14f64.sqrt());
    assert_eq!(l_inf, 3f64);
}

6. Compatible with Mathematics

After 0.23.0, peroxide is compatible with mathematical structures. Matrix, Vec<f64>, f64 are considered as inner product vector spaces. And Matrix, Vec<f64> are linear operators - Vec<f64> to Vec<f64> and Vec<f64> to f64. For future, peroxide will include more & more mathematical concepts. (But still practical.)

7. Written in Rust

Rust & Cargo are awesome for scientific computations. You can use any external packages easily with Cargo, not make. And default runtime performance of Rust is also great. If you use many iterations for computations, then Rust become great choice.

Useful tips for features

• If you want to use QR or SVD then should use O3 feature (there are no implementations for these decompositions in default)
• If you want to write your numerical results, then use nc feature and netcdf format. (It is much more effective than csv and json.)
• To plot, use nc feature to export data as netcdf format and use python to draw plot.
  • plot feature has limited plot abilities.
  • There is a template of python code. - Socialst
