The multithreaded extension is especially suited for computing large sets of numbers. In some cases, the extension is 230X faster than the same operation in PHPland. Tensor is used by libraries such as [Rubix ML](https://rubixml.com) to build and accelerate machine learning algorithms such as linear regression, dimensionality reduction, and neural networks. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Follow the instructions below to install either Tensor PHP or the Tensor extension. ### Tensor PHP [](#tensor-php) Install Tensor PHP into your project with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` $ composer require scienide/tensor ``` ### Tensor Extension [](#tensor-extension) Install the Tensor extension via [PECL](https://pecl.php.net/package/Tensor): ``` $ pecl install tensor ``` > **Note:** If both the library and extension are installed, the extension will take precedence. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [PHP](https://php.net) 7.4 or above ### Optional To Compile Extension [](#optional-to-compile-extension) - A C compiler such as [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/), [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/), or [Visual C++](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads) - A Fortran compiler such as [GFortran](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran) - The PHP development package (source code and tooling) - [OpenBLAS](https://www.openblas.net/) development package - [LAPACKE](https://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapacke.html) development package - [GNU make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) 3.81 or later - [autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html) 2.31 or later - [automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/) 1.14 or later - Ubuntu build-essentials Manually Compiling the Extension -------------------------------- [](#manually-compiling-the-extension) Clone the repository locally using [Git](https://git-scm.com/): ``` $ git clone https://github.com/Scien-ide/Tensor ``` Make sure you have all the necessary build tools installed such as a C compiler and make tools. For example, on an Ubuntu linux system you can enter the following on the command line to install the necessary dependencies. ``` $ sudo apt-get install make gcc gfortran php-dev libopenblas-dev liblapacke-dev re2c build-essential ``` Then, change into the `ext` directory from the project root and run the following commands from the terminal. See [this guide](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php) for more information on compiling PHP extensions with PHPize. ``` $ cd ./ext $ phpize $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install ``` Finally, add the following line to your `php.ini` configuration to install the extension. ``` extension=tensor.so ``` To confirm that the extension is loaded in PHP, you can run the following command. ``` php -m | grep tensor ``` Performance Comparison ---------------------- [](#performance-comparison) [![Tensor Performance MNIST](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scien-ide/Tensor/master/docs/images/tensor-performance-mnist.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scien-ide/Tensor/master/docs/images/tensor-performance-mnist.png) [![Tensor Performance Benchmarks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scien-ide/Tensor/master/docs/images/tensor-performance-benchmarks.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Scien-ide/Tensor/master/docs/images/tensor-performance-benchmarks.png) Funding ------- [](#funding) Tensor is funded by donations from the community.
