xprec precision numpy extension
Project description
Library for double-double arithmetic calculation
Extension module for numpy providing the ddouble data type.
Loading this module registers an additional scalar data type ddouble with
numpy implementing double-double arithmetic. You can use use the data type
by passing dtype=xprec.ddouble to numpy functions.
The xprec.linalg module provides some linear algebra subroutines, in
particular QR, RRQR, SVD and truncated SVD.
Installation
$ pip install xprec
Quickstart
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, np.pi)
# import double-double precision data type
from xprec import ddouble
x = x.astype(ddouble)
y = x * x + 1
z = np.sin(x)
# do some linalg
import xprec.linalg
A = np.vander(np.linspace(-1, 1, 80, dtype=ddouble), 150)
U, s, VT = xprec.linalg.svd(A)
Trouble shooting
- icc
You may suffer from a long runtime when xprec is built with icc. If you encounter this problem, please try the following:
CFLAGS="-fp-model=precise" pip install xprec
