๐Ÿ“ˆ Performance Highlights

โšก JAX Acceleration Behavior

Default: JAX acceleration is always enabled when enable_jax=True. This provides the best performance on GPU/TPU.

Optional threshold mode: For CPU-only users processing many medium-sized datasets, you can enable threshold-based activation:

import xlearn._jax as jax_config
jax_config.set_config(jax_auto_threshold=True)  # Only use JAX for large data

๐Ÿš€ Verified Benchmark Results (CPU - Apple Silicon M2)

print(f"JAX platform: {jax_config.get_jax_platform()}")
print(f"Available devices: {jax_config.jax.devices() if jax_config._JAX_AVAILABLE else 'JAX not available'}")

๐ŸŽฏ Quick Start

Basic Usage

# Simply replace sklearn with xlearn!
import xlearn as sklearn
from xlearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from xlearn.cluster import KMeans
from xlearn.decomposition import PCA

# Everything works exactly the same - 100% API compatible
model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

# JAX acceleration is applied automatically when beneficial

Performance Comparison

import numpy as np
import time
import xlearn as sklearn

# Generate large dataset
X = np.random.randn(50000, 200)
y = X @ np.random.randn(200) + 0.1 * np.random.randn(50000)

# XLearn automatically uses JAX for large data
model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()

start_time = time.time()
model.fit(X, y)
print(f"Training time: {time.time() - start_time:.4f}s")
# Output: Training time: 0.1124s (JAX accelerated)

# Check if JAX was used
print(f"Used JAX acceleration: {getattr(model, 'is_using_jax', False)}")

Hardware Configuration & Multi-Device Support

Automatic Hardware Selection (Recommended)

import xlearn as sklearn

# JAX-sklearn automatically selects the best available hardware
model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)  # Uses GPU/TPU if available and beneficial

# Check which hardware was used
print(f"Using JAX acceleration: {getattr(model, 'is_using_jax', False)}")
print(f"Hardware platform: {getattr(model, '_jax_platform', 'cpu')}")

Manual Hardware Configuration

import xlearn._jax as jax_config

# Check available hardware
print(f"JAX available: {jax_config.is_jax_available()}")
print(f"Current platform: {jax_config.get_jax_platform()}")

# Force GPU acceleration
jax_config.set_config(enable_jax=True, jax_platform="gpu")

# Force TPU acceleration (Google Cloud)
jax_config.set_config(enable_jax=True, jax_platform="tpu")

# Configure GPU memory limit (optional)
jax_config.set_config(
    enable_jax=True, 
    jax_platform="gpu",
    memory_limit_gpu=8192  # 8GB limit
)

Temporary Hardware Settings

# Use context manager for temporary hardware settings
with jax_config.config_context(jax_platform="gpu"):
    # Force GPU for this model only
    gpu_model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()
    gpu_model.fit(X, y)

with jax_config.config_context(enable_jax=False):
    # Force NumPy implementation
    cpu_model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()
    cpu_model.fit(X, y)

Advanced Multi-GPU Usage

import os
import xlearn as sklearn

# Use specific GPU device
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0'  # Use first GPU
# Or for multiple GPUs
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0,1,2,3'  # Use first 4 GPUs

model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)  # Automatically uses available GPUs

๐ŸŽฎ When Does XLearn Use JAX?

XLearn automatically decides when to use JAX based on:

Algorithm-Specific Thresholds

# LinearRegression: Uses JAX when complexity > 1e8
# Equivalent to: 100K samples ร— 1K features, or 32K ร— 32K, etc.

# KMeans: Uses JAX when complexity > 1e6
# Equivalent to: 10K samples ร— 100 features

# PCA: Uses JAX when complexity > 1e7
# Equivalent to: 32K samples ร— 300 features

Smart Heuristics

  • Complexity threshold: samples ร— features โ‰ฅ 1e8 triggers JAX acceleration
  • Large datasets: 10K+ samples with 10K+ features benefit most
  • Square matrices: 10K ร— 10K shows up to 16x speedup
  • Iterative algorithms: KMeans benefits even below threshold
  • Matrix operations: Linear algebra intensive algorithms scale best

๐Ÿ”ฌ Technical Details

Architecture

JAX-sklearn uses a 5-layer architecture:

  1. User Code Layer: 100% scikit-learn API compatibility
  2. Compatibility Layer: Transparent proxy system
  3. JAX Acceleration Layer: JIT compilation and vectorization
  4. Data Management Layer: Automatic NumPy โ†” JAX conversion
  5. Hardware Abstraction: CPU/GPU/TPU support

๐Ÿš€ Runtime Injection Mechanism

JAX-sklearn achieves seamless acceleration through a sophisticated runtime injection system that transparently replaces scikit-learn algorithms with JAX-accelerated versions:

1. Initialization Phase - Automatic JAX Detection

# At system startup in xlearn/__init__.py
try:
    from . import _jax  # Import JAX module
    _JAX_ENABLED = True

    # Import core components
    from ._jax._proxy import create_intelligent_proxy
    from ._jax._accelerator import AcceleratorRegistry

    # Create global registry
    _jax_registry = AcceleratorRegistry()

except ImportError:
    _JAX_ENABLED = False  # Disable when JAX unavailable

2. Dynamic Injection - Lazy Module Loading

def __getattr__(name):
    if name in _submodules:  # e.g., 'linear_model', 'cluster'
        # 1. Normal module import
        module = _importlib.import_module(f"xlearn.{name}")

        # 2. Auto-apply JAX acceleration if enabled
        if _JAX_ENABLED:
            _auto_jax_accelerate_module(name)  # ๐Ÿ”ฅ Key injection step

        return module

3. Class Replacement - Transparent Proxy Substitution

def _auto_jax_accelerate_module(module_name):
    """Automatically add JAX acceleration to all estimators in a module."""
    module = _importlib.import_module(f'.{module_name}', package=__name__)

    # Iterate through all module attributes
    for attr_name in dir(module):
        if not attr_name.startswith('_'):
            attr = getattr(module, attr_name)

            # Check if it's an estimator class
            if (isinstance(attr, type) and
                hasattr(attr, 'fit') and
                attr.__module__.startswith('xlearn.')):

๐Ÿ› Troubleshooting

Build/Installation Issues

"Python dependency not found" Error

If you see an error like Run-time dependency python found: NO, install Python development headers:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

# RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
sudo dnf install python3-devel

# macOS (usually not needed, but if issues occur)
xcode-select --install

Build Isolation Issues with uv/pip

If the build fails in isolated environments, try:

# Method 1: Install build dependencies system-wide first
pip install meson-python meson cython numpy scipy

# Method 2: Disable build isolation (use with caution)
pip install --no-build-isolation jax-sklearn
# or with uv
uv pip install --no-build-isolation jax-sklearn

Hardware Detection Issues

JAX Not Found

# Check if JAX is available
import xlearn._jax as jax_config
if not jax_config.is_jax_available():
    print("Install JAX: pip install jax jaxlib")
    print("For GPU: pip install jax[gpu]")
    print("For TPU: pip install jax[tpu]")

GPU Not Detected

import jax
print("Available devices:", jax.devices())
print("Default backend:", jax.default_backend())

# If GPU not found:
# 1. Check CUDA installation: nvidia-smi
# 2. Reinstall GPU JAX: pip install --upgrade jax[gpu]
# 3. Check CUDA compatibility: https://github.com/google/jax#installation

TPU Connection Issues

# For Google Cloud TPU
import jax
print("TPU devices:", jax.devices('tpu'))

# If TPU not found:
# 1. Check TPU quota in Google Cloud Console
# 2. Verify TPU software version
# 3. Restart TPU: gcloud compute tpus stop/start

Performance Issues

Force Specific Hardware

import xlearn._jax as jax_config

# Force NumPy (CPU) implementation
jax_config.set_config(enable_jax=False)

# Force specific hardware
jax_config.set_config(enable_jax=True, jax_platform="gpu")  # or "tpu"

Debug Hardware Selection

import xlearn._jax as jax_config
jax_config.set_config(debug_mode=True)  # Shows hardware selection decisions

import xlearn as sklearn
model = sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression()
model.fit(X, y)  # Will print hardware selection reasoning

Memory Issues

# Limit GPU memory usage
jax_config.set_config(
    enable_jax=True,
    jax_platform="gpu", 
    memory_limit_gpu=4096  # 4GB limit
)

# Enable memory pre-allocation (can help with OOM)
import os
os.environ['XLA_PYTHON_CLIENT_PREALLOCATE'] = 'false'
