ND4J: Scientific Computing on the JVM

ND4J is an Apache 2.0-licensed scientific computing library for the JVM. By contributing code to this repository, you agree to make your contribution available under an Apache 2.0 license.

It is meant to be used in production environments rather than as a research tool, which means routines are designed to run fast with minimum RAM requirements.

Main Features

Versatile n-dimensional array object
Multiplatform functionality including GPUs
Linear algebra and signal processing functions

Specifics

Supports GPUs via with the CUDA backend nd4j-cuda-7.5 and Native via nd4j-native.
All of this is wrapped in a unifying interface.
The API mimics the semantics of Numpy, Matlab and scikit-learn.

Modules

Several of these modules are different backend options for ND4J (including GPUs).

api = core
instrumentation
jdbc = Java Database Connectivity
jocl-parent = Java bindings for OpenCL
scala-api = API for Scala users
scala-notebook = Integration with Scala Notebook

Building Specific Modules

It is possible to build the project without the native bindings. This can be done by specic targeting of the project to build.

mvn clean package test -pl :nd4j-api

Documentation

Documentation is available at nd4j.org. Access the JavaDocs for more detail.

Fork the repository on GitHub to start making your changes to the master branch (or branch off of it).
Write a test, which shows that the bug was fixed or that the feature works as expected.
Note the repository follows the Google Java style with two modifications: 120-char column wrap and 4-spaces indentation. You can format your code to this format by typing mvn formatter:format in the subproject you work on, by using the contrib/formatter.xml at the root of the repository to configure the Eclipse formatter, or by using the INtellij plugin.
Send a pull request, and bug us on Gitter until it gets merged and published.
