To mark the occasion, as I’ve done before, I’m releasing something new, free, and practical for the scientific community: efficient Bilinear Forms for real and complex numbers. These are useful in fields like statistics, computational physics, biology, or chemistry. These kernels may offer up to 5x improvements in mixed-precision throughput compared to BLAS and other libraries that power tools like NumPy, especially for simulating the time evolution of small systems of non-entangled quantum states. If you’re curious about Bilinear Forms, you can check the release notes of the SimSIMD project. ...
