That's true - it's why I said you need a native library (something like numpy, but as a NIF) to back it up.

- rhizome31 6y agoThere's Matrex, which is based on CBLAS and has some integration with IElixir, Jupyter's kernel for Elixir. Also someone seems to be doing interesting work to integrate with GPU at https://github.com/sasagawa888/deeppipe2 https://github.com/sasagawa888/deeppipe2 Of course that's not to say that Elixir is ready to replace Python tomorrow. I just wanted to mention interesting projects in this area.
- neutronicus 6y agoI think the main issue you face here is that there is already a big C/C++/Fortran ecosystem around distributed computation, one that happens to be very well impedance-matched to numerical linear algebra, and one with which experts in numerical linear algebra are intimately familiar (MPI). Why bother with Erlang as a thin wrapper over C++ when C++ has the necessary facilities already?
