Architecture of Advanced Numerical Analysis Systems

This unique open access book applies the functional OCaml programming language to numerical or computational weighted data science, engineering, and scientific applications. This book is based on the authors' first-hand experience building and maintaining Owl, an OCaml-based numerical computing library. 
You'll first learn the various components in a modern numerical computation library. Then, you will learn how these components are designed and built up and how to optimize their performance. After reading and using this book, you'll have the knowledge required to design and build real-world complex systems that effectively leverage the advantages of the OCaml functional programming language.

You will:

Optimize core operations based on N-dimensional arraysDesign and implement an industry-level algorithmic differentiation moduleImplement mathematical optimization, regression, and deep neural network functionalities based on algorithmic differentiationDesign and optimize a computation graph module, and understand the benefits it brings to the numerical computing libraryAccommodate the growing number of hardware accelerators (e.g. GPU, TPU) and execution backends (e.g. web browser, unikernel) of numerical computationUse the Zoo system for efficient scripting, code sharing, service deployment, and compositionDesign and implement a distributed computing engine to work with a numerical computing library, providing convenient APIs and high performance
