🎯 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

🎮 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 × 1K features, or 32K × 32K, etc.

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

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

Smart Heuristics

• Large datasets: >10K samples typically benefit from JAX
• High-dimensional: >100 features often see speedups
• Iterative algorithms: Clustering, optimization benefit earlier
• Matrix operations: Linear algebra intensive algorithms

🔬 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 ↔ JAX conversion
5. Hardware Abstraction: CPU/GPU/TPU support

🚀 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)  # 🔥 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.')):

                # 🔥 Create intelligent proxy
                proxy_class = create_intelligent_proxy(attr)

                # 🔥 Replace original class in module
                setattr(module, attr_name, proxy_class)

4. Runtime Decision Making - Intelligent JAX/NumPy Switching

class EstimatorProxy:
    def __init__(self, original_class, *args, **kwargs):
        self._original_class = original_class
        self._impl = None
        self._using_jax = False

        # Create actual implementation (JAX or original)
        self._create_implementation()

    def _create_implementation(self):
        config = get_config()

        if config["enable_jax"]:
            try:
                # Attempt JAX-accelerated version
                self._impl = create_accelerated_estimator(
                    self._original_class, *args, **kwargs
                )
                self._using_jax = True

            except Exception:
                # Fallback to original on failure
                self._impl = self._original_class(*args, **kwargs)
                self._using_jax = False
        else:
            # Use original when JAX disabled
            self._impl = self._original_class(*args, **kwargs)

5. Complete Injection Flow

User Code: import xlearn.linear_model
                    ↓
1. xlearn.__getattr__('linear_model') triggered
                    ↓
2. Normal import of xlearn.linear_model module
                    ↓
3. Check _JAX_ENABLED, call _auto_jax_accelerate_module if enabled
                    ↓
4. Iterate through all classes (LinearRegression, Ridge, Lasso...)
                    ↓
5. Call create_intelligent_proxy for each estimator class
                    ↓
6. create_intelligent_proxy creates JAX version and registers it
                    ↓
7. Create proxy class, replace original class in module
                    ↓
8. User gets proxy class instead of original LinearRegression
                    ↓
User Code: model = LinearRegression()
                    ↓
9. Proxy class __init__ called
                    ↓
10. _create_implementation decides JAX vs original
                    ↓
11. Intelligent selection based on data size and config

6. Performance Heuristics - Smart Acceleration Decisions

# Algorithm-specific thresholds for JAX acceleration
thresholds = {
    'LinearRegression': {'min_complexity': 1e8, 'min_samples': 10000},
    'KMeans': {'min_complexity': 1e6, 'min_samples': 5000},
    'PCA': {'min_complexity': 1e7, 'min_samples': 5000},
    'Ridge': {'min_complexity': 1e8, 'min_samples': 10000},
    # Automatically decides based on: samples × features × algorithm_factor
}
