McNumJS
McNumJS is a high-performance JavaScript library for numerical computations which provides an easy-to-use API like NumPy. McNumJS makes use of TypedArrays which provide a mechanism for accessing data much more efficiently. McNumJS uses implicitly typed objects specified by asm.js so that modern javascript engines can optimize the code more efficiently and provide higher performance. Compiler writers who target javascript language and other web developers or scientists can make use of this library for numeric computations on the web.
McNumJS Modules
| Module | Description | Example properties/methods |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Extends JavaScript typed arrays to provide multi-dimension support | shape, stride, size, get, set, index, map |
| Generation | Provides API to generate different matrices | zeroes, ones, random |
| Unary Operations | Creates Unary operation functions | sum, average, sin, cos, fill |
| Binary Operations | Creates Binary operation functions | add, subtract, multiply, divide |

Performance
- McnumJS vs. Regular JavaScript: (Higher is better)
- McNumJS vs. JavaScript with typed arrays: (Lower is better)
- McNumJS vs. Compiled asm.js: (Lower is better)
- McNumJS vs. C: (Lower is better)
