arrayfire-rust v3.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-09-15 // over 7 years ago

  • 🔋 Features

    • 📜 Sparse Matrix and BLAS
      • Support for CSR and COO storage types.
      • Sparse-Dense Matrix Multiplication and Matrix-Vector Multiplication as a
        📜 part of af::matmul() using CSR format for sparse.
      • Conversion to and from dense matrix to CSR and COO storage types.
    • Faster JIT
      • Performance improvements for CUDA and OpenCL JIT functions.
      • Support for evaluating multiple outputs in a single kernel. See eval!() macro or function eval_multiple().
    • Random Number Generation
      • A random engine object to handle setting the random engine type and seed for random number generator engines.
      • Supported engine types are:
      • Philox
      • Threefry
      • Mersenne Twister
    • Graphics
      • Using Forge v0.9.0
      • New Functions to render Vector Fields
      • Window::draw_vector_field2()
      • Window::draw_vector_field3()
      • Window::draw_vector_field()
      • Multiple overlays on the same window are now possible.
      • Overlays support for same type of object (2D/3D)
      • Supported by Window::draw_plot[2|3](), Window::draw_hist(), Window::draw_surface(),
        Window::draw_vector_field[2|3]().
      • New API to set axes limits for graphs.
      • Draw calls do not automatically compute the limits. This is now under user control.
      • Window::set_axes_limits_[2d|3d|compute]() can be used to set axes limits automatically or manually.
      • Window::set_axes_titles() can be used to set axes titles.
      • New API for plot and scatter:
      • Window::draw_plot() and Window::draw_scatter() now can handle 2D and 3D and determine appropriate order.
      • draw_plot()
      • draw_plot2()
      • draw_plot3()
      • draw_scatter()
      • draw_scatter2()
      • draw_scatter3()
    • 🆕 New interpolation types to enum InteropType that apply to following functions
      • resize()
      • transform()
      • approx1()
      • approx2()
    • 👌 Support for complex mathematical functions
      • Add complex support for trignometry functions, sqrt(), log().
    • 🚦 medfilt1(): Median filter for 1-d signals
    • Generalized scan functions: scan_func_scan and scan_func_scanbykey
      • Now supports inclusive or exclusive scans
      • Supports binary operations defined by BinaryOp.
    • Image Moments functions
    • Add get_size_of() function for dtype

    Broken/Replaced API

    • The behaviour of Window::draw_plot has been to changed to handle generic plot rendering, 2D or 3D line plots. New functions Window::draw_plot[2|3] are added for dimension specific plot rendering.
    • The behaviour of Window::draw_scatter has been to changed to handle generic plot rendering, 2D or 3D line plots. New functions Window::draw_scatter[2|3] are added for dimension specific plot rendering.
