Compatibility

ILNumerics is compatible with all .NET runtimes since .NET Framework 4.6.1., including .NET Core, .NET 5.0, .NET 6.0.

We've invested great effort to translate and keep up to date the quasi standard algorithms for all computational routines, including linear algebra, FFT and optimization methods. These purely managed implementations are the first to bring professional robustness and precision to .NET. Hence, ILNumerics runs efficiently on any platform supported by .NET! Optionally, native libraries can be used to replace the managed default implementation. For the Windows platform, such native, optimized libraries are provided, too.

Performance

ILNumerics apps are typically much faster than alternatives: faster to implement and faster during execution. With ILNumerics the size of your data is not limited by the managed heap. ILNumerics n-dimensional Array<T> bridges the gap from high-level mathematical expressions down to native memory robustly, efficiently, and transparently. It allows to connect your data to any 3rd party without hassle. Further, it is able to host your data on any computational resource found, including CPUs and GPUs - key for heterogeneous, parallel computing.

Computing Engine

Implement numerical algorithms in the way you are used to: based on n-dimensional arrays.

Array<double> A = ones(10,20); 
Array<double> B = rand(20,20) + eye(20,20) * 10; 

// compute singular values
Array<double> C = svd(A); 

// compute FFT, 3rd ... last columns of A
C = fft(A[full, r(2,end)]);

Features

Algorithms created with ILNumerics Computing Engine do ...

• provide full compatibility with array features of Matlab(R) and numpy.
• automatically clean up after you. No need to deal with memory anymore!
• use state of the art implementations, maintained and accepted by the scientific community for decades.
• run on any platform supported by .NET - without giving up on robustness nor precision.
• auto-parallelize where possible, and
• implement many optimizations internally. They usually run faster than any competitor!
• break free from limitations of the managed heap reliably (no GC, no 3GB size limit).

Preparation

• install the ILNumerics Visual Studio extension
• download your trial license.
• activate your seat.
