Architectural Benefits

This modular architecture offers several advantages:

  • Flexible Dependencies: Users can select only the features they need
  • Independent Development: Each module can be developed and tested separately
  • Clear Separation: Each module focuses on a specific functional area
  • No Circular Dependencies: Clear hierarchy prevents circular dependencies
  • AI/ML Focus: Specialized modules for machine learning and AI workloads
  • Feature Flags: Granular control over enabled functionality
  • Memory Efficiency: Import only what you need to reduce overhead

Advanced Core Features

The core module (scirs2-core) provides several advanced features that are leveraged across the ecosystem:

GPU Acceleration

use scirs2_core::gpu::{GpuContext, GpuBackend, GpuBuffer};

// Create a GPU context with the default backend
let ctx = GpuContext::new(GpuBackend::default())?;

// Allocate memory on the GPU
let mut buffer = ctx.create_buffer::<f32>(1024);

// Execute a computation
ctx.execute(|compiler| {
    let kernel = compiler.compile(kernel_code)?;
    kernel.set_buffer(0, &mut buffer);
    kernel.dispatch([1024, 1, 1]);
    Ok(())
})?;

Memory Management

use scirs2_core::memory::{ChunkProcessor2D, BufferPool, ZeroCopyView};

// Process large arrays in chunks
let mut processor = ChunkProcessor2D::new(&large_array, (1000, 1000));
processor.process_chunks(|chunk, coords| {
    // Process each chunk...
});

// Reuse memory with buffer pools
let mut pool = BufferPool::<f64>::new();
let mut buffer = pool.acquire_vec(1000);
// Use buffer...
pool.release_vec(buffer);

Memory Metrics and Profiling

use scirs2_core::memory::metrics::{track_allocation, generate_memory_report};
use scirs2_core::profiling::{Profiler, Timer};

// Track memory allocations
track_allocation("MyComponent", 1024, 0x1000);

// Time a block of code
let timer = Timer::start("matrix_multiply");
// Do work...
timer.stop();

// Print profiling report
Profiler::global().lock().unwrap().print_report();

Module Documentation

Each module has its own README with detailed documentation and is available on crates.io.

Implementation Strategy

We follow a phased approach:

  1. Core functionality analysis: Identify key features and APIs of each SciPy module
  2. Prioritization: Begin with highest-demand modules (linalg, stats, optimize)
  3. Interface design: Balance Rust idioms with SciPy compatibility
  4. Scientific computing foundation: Implement core scientific computing modules first
  5. Advanced modules: Implement specialized modules for advanced scientific computing
  6. AI/ML infrastructure: Develop specialized tools for AI and machine learning
  7. Integration and optimization: Ensure all modules work together efficiently
  8. Ecosystem development: Create tooling, documentation, and community resources

Core Module Usage Policy

All modules in the SciRS2 ecosystem are expected to leverage functionality from scirs2-core:

  • Validation: Use scirs2-core::validation for parameter checking
  • Error Handling: Base module-specific errors on scirs2-core::error::CoreError
  • Numeric Operations: Use scirs2-core::numeric for generic numeric functions
  • Optimization: Use core-provided performance optimizations:
    • SIMD operations via scirs2-core::simd
    • Parallelism via scirs2-core::parallel
    • Memory management via scirs2-core::memory
    • Caching via scirs2-core::cache

Dependency Management

SciRS2 uses workspace inheritance for consistent dependency versioning:

  • All shared dependencies are defined in the root Cargo.toml
  • Module crates reference dependencies with workspace = true
  • Feature-gated dependencies use workspace = true with optional = true
# In workspace root Cargo.toml
[workspace.dependencies]
ndarray = { version = "0.16.1", features = ["serde", "rayon"] }
num-complex = "0.4.3"
rayon = "1.7.0"

# In module Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
ndarray = { workspace = true }
num-complex = { workspace = true }
rayon = { workspace = true, optional = true }

[features]
parallel = ["rayon"]

Core Module Usage Policy

Following the SciRS2 Ecosystem Policy, all SciRS2 modules now follow a strict layered architecture:

  • Only scirs2-core uses external dependencies directly
  • All other modules must use SciRS2-Core abstractions
  • Benefits: Consistent APIs, centralized version control, type safety, maintainability

Required Usage Patterns

// ❌ FORBIDDEN in non-core crates
use rand::*;
use ndarray::Array2;
use num_complex::Complex;

// ✅ REQUIRED in non-core crates
use scirs2_core::random::*;
use scirs2_core::array::*;
use scirs2_core::complex::*;

This policy ensures ecosystem consistency and enables better optimization across the entire SciRS2 framework.

  • Streaming protocols (HLS, DASH, RTMP, SRT, WebRTC), transcoding pipelines, filter graphs (DAG-based)
  • Computer vision: object detection, motion tracking, video stabilization, scene analysis, shot detection, denoising
  • Professional image I/O (DPX, OpenEXR, TIFF), color management (ICC, ACES, HDR), quality metrics (PSNR/SSIM/VMAF)
  • Zero C/Fortran dependencies, async-first (Tokio), WASM-ready, patent-free codecs only
