ndarray

The ndarray crate provides an n-dimensional container for general elements and for numerics.

Please read the API documentation on docs.rs

Highlights

• Generic 1, 2, ..., n-dimensional arrays
• Owned arrays and array views
• Slicing, also with arbitrary step size, and negative indices to mean elements from the end of the axis.
• Views and subviews of arrays; iterators that yield subviews.

Status and Lookout

• Still iterating on and evolving the crate
  • The crate is continuously developing, and breaking changes are expected during evolution from version to version. We adopt the newest stable rust features if we need them.
• Performance:
  • Prefer higher order methods and arithmetic operations on arrays first, then iteration, and as a last priority using indexed algorithms.
  • Efficient floating point matrix multiplication even for very large matrices; can optionally use BLAS to improve it further.

Crate Feature Flags

The following crate feature flags are available. They are configured in your Cargo.toml.

• serde-1
  • Optional, compatible with Rust stable
  • Enables serialization support for serde 1.0
• rayon
  • Optional, compatible with Rust stable
  • Enables parallel iterators, parallelized methods and par_azip!.
• blas
  • Optional and experimental, compatible with Rust stable
  • Enable transparent BLAS support for matrix multiplication. Uses blas-src for pluggable backend, which needs to be configured separately.

How to use with cargo

[dependencies]
ndarray = "0.12.1"

How to enable blas integration. Depend on blas-src directly to pick a blas provider. Depend on the same blas-src version as ndarray does, for the selection to work. A proposed configuration using system openblas is shown below. Note that only end-user projects (not libraries) should select provider:

[dependencies]
ndarray = { version = "0.12.1", features = ["blas"] }
blas-src = { version = "0.2.0", default-features = false, features = ["openblas"] }
openblas-src = { version = "0.6.0", default-features = false, features = ["cblas", "system"] }

  • Add stride_of method for getting the stride of an axis.
  • Add public ndim and zeros methods to Dimension trait.
  • Rename scalar_sum to sum, subview to index_axis, subview_mut to index_axis_mut, subview_inplace to collapse_axis, into_subview to index_axis_move, and slice_inplace to slice_collapse (deprecating the old names, except for scalar_sum which will be in 0.13).

  • Implement Clone for LanesIter.
  • Implement Debug, Copy, and Clone for FoldWhile.
  • Relax constraints on sum_axis, mean_axis, and into_owned.
  • Add number of dimensions (and whether it's const or dynamic) to array Debug format.
  • Allow merging axes with merge_axes when either axis length is ≤ 1.
  • Clarify and check more precise safety requirements for constructing arrays. This fixes undefined behavior in some edge cases. (See #543.)
  • Fix is_standard_layout in some edge cases. (See #543.)
  • Fix chunk sizes in axis_chunks_iter and axis_chunks_iter_mut when the stride is zero or the array element type is zero-sized by @bluss.

  • Add support for 128-bit integer scalars (i128 and u128).

  • Add array constructor Array::ones by @ehsanmok
  • Add the method .reborrow() to ArrayView/Mut, which can be used to shorten the lifetime of an array view; in a reference-like type this normally happens implicitly but for technical reasons the views have an invariant lifetime parameter.

• 0.11.1

  • Optimized arithmetic operations!
    • For c-contiguous arrays or arrays with c-contiguous lowest dimension they optimize very well, and can vectorize!
  • Add .inner_iter(), .inner_iter_mut()
  • Add .fold(), .zip_mut_with()
  • Add .scalar_sum()
  • Add example examples/life.rs
• 0.2.0-alpha.6
  • Add #[deprecated] attributes (enabled with new enough nightly)
  • Add ArrayBase::linspace, deprecate constructor range.
• 0.2.0-alpha.5
  • Add s![...], a slice argument macro.
  • Add aview_mut1(), zeros()
  • Add .diag_mut() and deprecate .diag_iter_mut(), .sub_iter_mut()
  • Add .uget(), .uget_mut() for unchecked indexing and deprecate the old names.
  • Improve ArrayBase::from_elem
  • Removed SliceRange, replaced by From impls for Si.
• 0.2.0-alpha.4
  • Slicing methods like .slice() now take a fixed size array of Si as the slice description. This allows more type checking to verify that the number of axes is correct.
  • Add experimental rblas integration.
  • Add into_shape() which allows reshaping any array or view kind.
• 0.2.0-alpha.3
  • Add and edit a lot of documentation
• 0.2.0-alpha.2
  • Improve performance for iterators when the array data is in the default memory layout. The iterator then wraps the default slice iterator and loops will autovectorize.
  • Remove method .indexed() on iterators. Changed Indexed and added ÌndexedMut.
  • Added .as_slice(), .as_mut_slice()
  • Support rustc-serialize
• 0.2.0-alpha
  • Alpha release!
  • Introduce ArrayBase, OwnedArray, ArrayView, ArrayViewMut
  • All arithmetic operations should accept any array type
  • Array continues to refer to the default reference counted copy on write array
  • Add .view(), .view_mut(), .to_owned(), .into_shared()
  • Add .slice_mut(), .subview_mut()
  • Some operations now return OwnedArray:
    • .map()
    • .sum()
    • .mean()
  • Add get, get_mut to replace the now deprecated at, at_mut.
  • Fix bug in assign_scalar
• 0.1.1
  • Add Array::default
  • Fix bug in raw_data_mut
• 0.1.0
  • First release on crates.io
  • Starting point for evolution to come
