  • Help understanding the state of ndarrays and linalg in Rust.

    The matrixmultiply crate from the ndarray author (https://github.com/bluss/matrixmultiply) is one such implementation. It uses the same algorithm as the BLIS project (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/flame/pubs/TOMS-BLIS-Analytical.pdf) to partition the problem and exploit the cache hierarchy. It isn't as well tuned as eg. Intel MKL or BLIS, but the results are very respectable.

    Do you plan to support integers as native types? I know there is an issue for the crate matrixmultiply for that, it seems it can be problematic because of overflow.
  • Faster `matrixmultiply` ?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 27 Aug 2022
    There's a famous crate [matrixmultiply](https://github.com/bluss/matrixmultiply) for matrix-matrix multiplication in Rust. But it's a bit slow for me.
  • Nim vs Rust Benchmarks
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Feb 2022
    In my benchmarks, Nim is faster than Rust:

    - multithreading runtime (i.e Rayon vs Weave https://github.com/mratsim/weave)

    - Cryptography: https://hackmd.io/@gnark/eccbench#Pairing

    - Scientific computing / matrix multiplication: https://github.com/bluss/matrixmultiply/issues/34#issuecomme...

    There is no inherent reason why a Nim program would be slower than Rust.

    It maybe that your BLAS library is not named libopenblas.so, you can change that here: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/benchmarks/thir...

    Implementation is in this folder: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/tree/master/laser/primitive...

    in particular, tiling, cache and register optimization: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/laser/primitive...

    AVX512 code generator: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/laser/primitive...

    And generic Scalar/SSE/AVX/AVX2/AVX512 microkernel generator (this is Nim macros to generate code at compile-time): https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/laser/primitive...

    I'll come back later with details on how to use my custom HPC threadpool Weave instead of OpenMP (https://github.com/mratsim/weave/tree/master/benchmarks/matm...)
