Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

From slow to SIMD: A Go optimization story
It depends.
You need 2~3 accumulators to saturate instruction-level parallelism with a parallel sum reduction. But the compiler won't do it because it only creates those when the operation is associative, i.e. (a+b)+c = a+(b+c), which is true for integers but not for floats.
There is an escape hatch in -ffast-math.
I have extensive benches on this here: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/benchmarks%2Ffp...

Benchmarking 20 programming languages on N-queens and matrix multiplication
Ah,
It was from an older implementation that wasn't compatible with Nim v2. I've commented it out.
If you pull again it should work.
> Anyway the reason for your competitive performance is likely that you are benchmarking with very small matrices. OpenBLAS spends some time preprocessing the tiles which doesn't really pay off until they become really huge.
I don't get why you think it's impossible to reach BLAS speed. The matrix sizes are configured here: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/benchmarks/gemm...
It defaults to 1920x1920 * 1920x1920. Note, if you activate the benchmarks versus PyTorch Glow, in the past it didn't support non-multiple of 16 or something, not sure today.
Packing is done here: https://github.com/mratsim/laser/blob/master/laser/primitive...
And it also support pre-packing which is useful to reimplement batch_matmul like what CuBLAS provides and is quite useful for convolution via matmul.

Why does working with a transposed tensor not make the following operations less performant?

Improve performance with SIMD intrinsics
You can train yourself on matrix transposition first. It's straightforward to get 3x speedup between naive transposition and double loop tiling, see: https://github.com/numforge/laser/blob/d1e6ae6/benchmarks/transpose/transpose_bench.nim#L238

Nim - Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).
