Question 1

How to set up Peroxide with BLAS for maximum performance?

Accepted Answer

Install OpenBLAS separately, then add Peroxide with the O3 feature using 'cargo add peroxide --features O3.' The README recommends checking 'Peroxide with BLAS' for detailed setup, as it can be tricky due to external library dependencies.

Question 2

Peroxide vs ndarray: which is better for Rust numerical computing?

Accepted Answer

Peroxide offers more built-in numerical analysis tools like ODE solvers and automatic differentiation, with syntax mimicking Python/R. Ndarray focuses on n-dimensional arrays with a simpler API but fewer batteries-included features, making Peroxide better for scientific computing suites.

Question 3

Can Peroxide handle large datasets efficiently with DataFrames?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through features like parquet and nc for efficient file formats, but performance depends on enabling those features. The README notes parquet and netcdf are more efficient than csv, though they require additional dependencies.

Question 4

How to plot data using Peroxide's plot feature?

Accepted Answer

Enable the plot feature, use Plot2D structs from the fuga module, and ensure Python with matplotlib is installed. The README provides an example with Lorenz attractor visualization, but it requires external Python setup.

Question 5

Is Peroxide suitable for production machine learning projects?

Accepted Answer

Not yet; the ML module is in beta with limited regression tools, and the README marks it as such. For production ML, consider more mature Rust crates or integrate with Python libraries via bindings.

Question 6

What are the main differences between prelude and fuga in Peroxide?

Accepted Answer

Prelude offers simplified APIs like default norms, while fuga allows explicit algorithm choice, such as selecting different norm types. The README shows examples where fuga requires more code but provides finer control.
