🦀 Pure Rust by Default

SciRS2 is 100% Pure Rust by default - no C, C++, or Fortran dependencies required!

Unlike traditional scientific computing libraries that rely on external system libraries (OpenBLAS, LAPACK, FFTW), SciRS2 provides a completely self-contained Pure Rust implementation:

✅ BLAS/LAPACK: Pure Rust OxiBLAS implementation (no OpenBLAS/MKL/Accelerate required)
✅ FFT: Pure Rust RustFFT implementation (FFTW is optional for 62x speedup)
✅ Random Number Generation: Pure Rust implementations of all statistical distributions
✅ All Core Modules: Every scientific computing module works out-of-the-box without external dependencies

Benefits:

🚀 Easy Installation: cargo add scirs2 - no system library setup required
🔒 Memory Safety: Rust's ownership system prevents memory leaks and data races
🌍 Cross-Platform: Same code works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and WebAssembly
📦 Reproducible Builds: No external library version conflicts
⚡ Performance: Competitive performance with optional C library acceleration where needed

Optional Performance Enhancements (not required for functionality):

fftw feature: Link FFTW library for 62x FFT speedup (C library)
mpsgraph feature: Apple Metal GPU acceleration (macOS only, Objective-C)
cuda feature: NVIDIA CUDA GPU acceleration
arbitrary-precision feature: GMP/MPFR for arbitrary precision arithmetic (C library)

Enable with: cargo add scirs2 --features fftw,cuda

By default, SciRS2 provides a fully functional, Pure Rust scientific computing stack that rivals the performance of traditional C/Fortran-based libraries while offering superior safety, portability, and ease of use.

Advanced Core Features

The core module (scirs2-core) provides several advanced features that are leveraged across the ecosystem:

GPU Acceleration

use scirs2_core::gpu::{GpuContext, GpuBackend, GpuBuffer};

// Create a GPU context with the default backend
let ctx = GpuContext::new(GpuBackend::default())?;

// Allocate memory on the GPU
let mut buffer = ctx.create_buffer::<f32>(1024);

// Execute a computation
ctx.execute(|compiler| {
    let kernel = compiler.compile(kernel_code)?;
    kernel.set_buffer(0, &mut buffer);
    kernel.dispatch([1024, 1, 1]);
    Ok(())
})?;

Memory Management

use scirs2_core::memory::{ChunkProcessor2D, BufferPool, ZeroCopyView};

// Process large arrays in chunks
let mut processor = ChunkProcessor2D::new(&large_array, (1000, 1000));
processor.process_chunks(|chunk, coords| {
    // Process each chunk...
});

// Reuse memory with buffer pools
let mut pool = BufferPool::<f64>::new();
let mut buffer = pool.acquire_vec(1000);
// Use buffer...
pool.release_vec(buffer);

Memory Metrics and Profiling

use scirs2_core::memory::metrics::{track_allocation, generate_memory_report};
use scirs2_core::profiling::{Profiler, Timer};

// Track memory allocations
track_allocation("MyComponent", 1024, 0x1000);

// Time a block of code
let timer = Timer::start("matrix_multiply");
// Do work...
timer.stop();

// Print profiling report
Profiler::global().lock().unwrap().print_report();

ndarray = { version = "0.16.1", features = ["serde", "rayon"] }
num-complex = "0.4.3"
rayon = "1.7.0"

# In module Cargo.toml

rayon = { workspace = true, optional = true }

[features]
parallel = ["rayon"]

Core Module Usage Policy

Following the SciRS2 Ecosystem Policy, all SciRS2 modules now follow a strict layered architecture:

Only scirs2-core uses external dependencies directly
All other modules must use SciRS2-Core abstractions
Benefits: Consistent APIs, centralized version control, type safety, maintainability

Required Usage Patterns

// ❌ FORBIDDEN in non-core crates
use rand::*;
use ndarray::Array2;
use num_complex::Complex;

// ✅ REQUIRED in non-core crates
use scirs2_core::random::*;
use scirs2_core::array::*;
use scirs2_core::complex::*;

This policy ensures ecosystem consistency and enables better optimization across the entire SciRS2 framework.

Release Notes

🚀 v0.1.1 (December 30, 2025) - API Refinement & Quality Release

This release focuses on API modernization, documentation accuracy, and code quality improvements:

✅ Major Improvements:

API Simplification: compat module migrated from SciPy-style to ndarray-linalg-style API
Documentation Accuracy: Updated SCIRS2_POLICY.md with OxiBLAS/Oxicode migration details
Code Quality: Eliminated all unwrap() calls and clippy warnings
Test Suite: 11,343 tests passing with 100% success rate

🏗️ Technical Enhancements:

Trait-based API: ArrayLinalgExt trait for ergonomic linear algebra operations
Type Safety: Proper UPLO enum usage, removed unnecessary Option wrapping
Clean Codebase: Removed obsolete test files with outdated API signatures
Zero Warnings Policy: Full compliance with strict warning-as-error enforcement

📝 Breaking Changes:

compat API simplified: det(&a, false, true) → det(&a) (unused parameters removed)
eigh returns (eigenvals, eigenvecs) directly instead of (eigenvals, Option<eigenvecs>)
Several compat functions now use UPLO enum instead of boolean flags

🚀 v0.1.0 (December 29, 2025) - Stable Release

This release focuses on documentation excellence, version synchronization, and final preparations for the stable 0.1.0 release:

✅ Major Improvements:

Documentation: Comprehensive revision of README, TODO, CLAUDE.md, and lib.rs files
Version Sync: All version references updated to 0.1.0 across workspace
Developer Experience: Enhanced build workflows and troubleshooting guides
Quality Assurance: Final validation with 11,400+ tests passing

Documentation Quality: Improved inline docs and cross-references
Platform Testing: Verified builds and tests on all supported platforms

📊 Status:

✅ Build System: Zero warnings, full clippy compliance
✅ Test Suite: 11,400+ tests passing across all modules
✅ Documentation: All docs.rs builds successful
✅ Production Ready: Stable v0.1.0 release

Migration:

No breaking API changes from rc.3
Documentation improvements enhance developer experience
See CHANGELOG.md for complete details

Known Limitations

This is the stable v0.1.0 release of SciRS2. While the core functionality is stable and well-tested, there are some known limitations:

Python Bindings (RESOLVED, maintained in stable)

Status: ✅ RESOLVED - scirs2-python provides full Python integration

Previous Issue: The numpy Rust crate (v0.27.0) only supported ndarray < 0.17. SciRS2 had migrated to ndarray 0.17.1 for improved performance and safety.

Solution: scirs2-python with complete PyO3 integration and scirs2-numpy compatibility layer are now available.

Impact:

Python bindings features (pyo3, python) are disabled by default ✅
Regular builds work fine: cargo build ✅
Full feature builds fail: cargo build --all-features ❌

Workaround: Do not enable pyo3 or python features until numpy crate adds ndarray 0.17 support.

Resolution: Planned for v0.2.0 when upstream numpy crate updates (related to Issue #76).

For details, see KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md.

Platform-Specific Issues

Windows Platform

Build Status: All subcrates build successfully with cargo build
Test Status: All tests pass with OxiBLAS (Pure Rust BLAS/LAPACK)
v0.1.0+ Update: OpenBLAS/BLAS runtime errors resolved by migration to Pure Rust OxiBLAS

SciRS2 POLICY Implementation Status

Policy Established: Complete SciRS2 POLICY framework with layered abstraction architecture
Core Abstractions Complete: scirs2-core provides comprehensive abstractions for rand, ndarray, and all dependencies
Migration Status: All modules updated to latest dependencies; core abstractions integration ongoing
Backward Compatibility: Direct usage still works but core abstractions are recommended for new code

Autograd Module

Gradient Shape Propagation: Some complex operations may have limitations in gradient shape inference (Issue #1). Complex computation graphs may require manual shape specification in certain cases.
Graph Context Requirements: Some stability tests require proper graph context initialization. Helper functions are provided in test utilities.

Unimplemented Features

The following features are planned for future releases:

Cholesky decomposition - Planned for 0.2.0
Thin Plate Spline solver - Planned for 0.2.0
Some advanced linear algebra decompositions

Performance Tests

Benchmark and performance tests are excluded from regular CI runs (404 tests marked as ignored) to optimize build times. Run with cargo test -- --ignored to execute full test suite including benchmarks.

Hardware-Dependent Features

GPU acceleration features require compatible hardware and drivers
Tests automatically fall back to CPU implementations when GPU is unavailable
Specialized hardware support (FPGA, ASIC) uses mock implementations when hardware is not present

Test Coverage

Total tests: 11,400+ across all modules
Regular CI tests: All passing ✅
Performance tests: Included in full test suite (run with --all-features)

For the most up-to-date information on limitations and ongoing development, please check our GitHub Issues.
