pyvx2-sbhadade 0.1.0

AVX2-accelerated array and matrix operations for Python

pyvx2-sbhadade

A high-performance Python library for AVX2-accelerated array and matrix operations.

Features

• 🚀 AVX2-Optimized Operations: Leverages Intel AVX2 SIMD instructions for maximum performance
• 📊 Matrix Multiplication: Fast matrix-matrix multiplication using FMA instructions
• ➕ Vector Operations: Element-wise addition, multiplication, and dot products
• 🔧 Production Ready: Comprehensive error handling and edge case coverage
• 🧪 Well Tested: Full test suite with performance benchmarks

Performance

PyVX2 provides direct AVX2 implementations for educational purposes and scenarios where you need explicit SIMD control.

Note: For production workloads, NumPy with MKL/OpenBLAS backends may be faster due to:

• Multi-threading
• Cache-blocking algorithms
• Additional CPU-specific optimizations

PyVX2 is ideal for:

• Learning SIMD programming
• Embedding in single-threaded contexts
• Custom algorithmic optimizations
• Understanding low-level performance

Benchmark results on modern x86_64 CPUs:

Installation

From PyPI

pip install pyVX2

From Source

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/pyVX2.git
cd pyVX2
pip install .

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• NumPy 1.19.0+
• x86_64 CPU with AVX2 support
• C compiler (GCC, Clang, or MSVC)

Quick Start

import numpy as np
from pyVX2 import matmul_avx2, add_avx2, mul_avx2, dot_avx2

# Matrix multiplication
A = np.random.randn(1000, 500).astype(np.float32)
B = np.random.randn(500, 800).astype(np.float32)
C = matmul_avx2(A, B)

# Vector addition
a = np.random.randn(10000).astype(np.float32)
b = np.random.randn(10000).astype(np.float32)
c = add_avx2(a, b)

# Element-wise multiplication
d = mul_avx2(a, b)

# Dot product
result = dot_avx2(a, b)
