Hello,
At Continuum Analytics we've been working on a submodule implementing a set of lineal algebra operations as generalized ufuncs. This allows specifying arrays of lineal algebra problems to be computed with a single Python call, allowing broadcasting as well. As the vectorization is handled in the kernel, this gives a speed edge on the operations. We think this could be useful to the community and we want to share the work done.
It certainly does look useful. My question is -- why do we need two complete copies of the linear algebra routine interfaces? Can we just replace the existing linalg functions with these new implementations? Or if not, what prevents it?
The error reporting would have to be bodged back in. -- Robert Kern
