MatFlat

This library aims to provide a subset of BLAS and LAPACK routines implemented in pure C#.

This library was created as a matrix decomposition implementation for NumFlat, a general purpose numerical computing library written in pure C#. If you're interested in numerical computing with C#, please check out NumFlat.

This library is based on the following great projects:

Currently the following routines are implemented:

  • LU decomposition
  • Cholesky decomposition
  • QR decomposition
  • Singular value decomposition
  • Eigenvalue decomposition
  • Generalized eigenvalue decomposition
  • Forward and backward substitution
  • Inverse matrix
  • Matrix-vector multiplication
  • Matrix-matrix multiplication
  • Dot and outer product
  • Vector norm

Features

  • Supports float, double, and Complex matrices.
  • Faster than the managed matrix decompositions in Math.NET in many cases.
  • Small code size, with no dependencies other than .NET 8.
  • No internal multi-threaded optimization, making it safe to use in any multi-threaded code.
  • BLAS and LAPACK-like interface that allows arbitrary leading dimension.

Limitations

  • Unsafe pointers are required, similar to the original BLAS and LAPACK routines.
  • Only column-major order is supported.
  • EVD and GEVD support only symmetric (Hermitian) matrices.

Installation

.NET 8 is required.

The NuGet package is available.

Install-Package MatFlat

All the classes are in the MatFlat namespace.

using MatFlat;

Performance

The performance of MatFlat is compared with that of Math.NET Numerics and OpenBLAS below. The execution times of various double matrix decompositions for square matrices were measured. The matrix sizes range from 10x10 to 100x100. The plots show the execution times, with the execution time of Math.NET Numerics considered as 1.

Measurement condition

The benchmarks were run under the following condition:

BenchmarkDotNet v0.13.12, Windows 11 (10.0.22631.3447/23H2/2023Update/SunValley3)
12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700K, 1 CPU, 20 logical and 12 physical cores
.NET SDK 8.0.202
