faer
faer is a collection of crates that implement low level linear algebra routines in pure Rust.
The aim is to eventually provide a fully featured library for linear algebra with focus on portability, correctness, and performance.
See the official website and the docs.rs documentation for code examples and usage instructions.
Questions about using the library, contributing, and future directions can be discussed in the Discord server.
faer
The faer module implements high level abstractions over the other modules, exposing easy to use matrix decomposition structures. This is the recommended entry point for developers who are new to faer.
For developers who want to know more about the data layout and underlying structures, the faer-core documentation is a good place to get more information.
faer-core
The core module implements matrix structures, as well as BLAS-like matrix operations such as matrix multiplication and solving triangular linear systems.
faer-sparse
The sparse module implements sparse matrix algorithms.
faer-cholesky
The Cholesky module implements the LLT, LDLT and Bunch-Kaufman matrix decompositions. These allow for solving Hermitian (+positive definite for LLT) linear systems.
faer-lu
The LU module implements the LU factorization with row pivoting, as well as the version with full pivoting.
faer-qr
The QR module implements the QR decomposition with no pivoting, as well as the version with column pivoting.
faer-svd
The SVD module implements the singular value decomposition.
faer-evd
The EVD module implements the eigenvalue decomposition for Hermitian and non Hermitian matrices .
Contributing
If you'd like to contribute to faer, check out the list of "good first issue"
issues. These are all (or should be) issues that are suitable for getting
started, and they generally include a detailed set of instructions for what to
do. Please ask questions on the Discord server or the issue itself if anything
is unclear!
Minimum supported Rust version
The current MSRV is Rust 1.67.0.
Benchmarks
The benchmarks were run on an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz with 12 threads.
