Hi Rick, I am happy to answer more questions around some data science examples in the following repo: https://github.com/paulk-asert/groovy-data-science
You'll see lots of examples there that call out to many Java STEM libraries some of which in turn use wrapped GPU/C libraries underneath like openblas, arpack, etc. Groovy has some defaults which remove certain surprise behavior, e.g. for Java (but not picking on Java - the same would be true for many languages): jshell> Double x = 0.5 x ==> 0.5 jshell> x.equals(1/2) $2 ==> false Vs Groovy: On Sat, Nov 13, 2021 at 7:52 AM Rick Van Camp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes! > > On Fri, Nov 12, 2021 at 4:45 PM Eric MacAdie <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> A lot of hard-core math libraries are written in C, C++ or Fortran (like >> BLAS, ATLAS and LAPACK). >> >> So a lot of math programs in a lot of languages (like JVM languages, as well >> as Ruby and Python) off load a lot of the work to these C libraries. >> TensorFlow, NumPy, SciPy, DeepLearning4J, etc all do that.
