Dear librsb users, I am forwarding here this message that I sent to three Python related mailing lists yesterday; I think it could be of interest to some of you. ----- Forwarded message from Michele Martone <mic...@us...> ----- From: Michele Martone <mic...@us...> Subject: PyRSB: Python interface to librsb sparse matrices library To: sci...@py..., sci...@py..., num...@py... Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 11:51:55 +0200 Hi. I'm the author of the high performance multithreaded sparse matrix library `librsb' (mostly C, LGPLv3): http://librsb.sourceforge.net/ I'm *not* a user of SciPy/NumPy/Python, but using Cython I have written a proof-of-concept interface to librsb, named `PyRSB': https://github.com/michelemartone/pyrsb PyRSB is in a prototypal state; e.g. still lacks good error handling. Its interface is trivial, as it mimicks that of SciPy's 'csr_matrix'. Advantages over csr_matrix are in fast multithreaded multiplication of huge sparse matrices. Intended application area is iterative solution of linear systems; particularly fast if with symmetric matrices and many rhs. With this email I am looking for prospective: - users/testers - developers (any interest to collaborate/adopt/include the project?) Looking forward for your feedback, Michele ----- End forwarded message ----- |
