Question: how does it compare to ndarray-blas? #1

Closed Bondifrench closed 6 years ago

Bondifrench commented 6 years ago

Just discovered this library, how does this project compare to Ndarray-blas? Ndarrays are strided arrays for easier tensors manipulations.

Would be great to see perf comparisons between the two.

  1. Looks like "ndarray-blas" is an aborted project with only 16% of BLAS ported. (BLAS is over 150 functions).
  2. It is well known BLAS subroutines, inherently uses strided arrays, (as is evident from the extensive readme, or the reference docref blas ) so any aborted (in case of ndarray-blas) BLAS implementation needs to use it too to stay compliant.

just checked the ndarray-blas implementation, its basically nonexistent, 7 functions implemented out of 149
