Join For FreeThe open source HPCC Systems platform is a proven, easy to use solution for managing data at scale. Visit our Easy Guide to learn more about this completely free platform, test drive some code in the online Playground, and get started today.
For this week’s resource post, see the page Stand-alone code for numerical computing. It points to small, self-contained bits of code for special functions (log gamma, erf, etc.) and for random number generation (normal, Poisson, gamma, etc.).
The code is available in Python, C++, and C# versions. It could easily be translated into other languages since it hardly uses any language-specific features.
I wrote these functions for projects where you don’t have a numerical library available or would like to minimize dependencies. If you have access to a numerical library, such as SciPy in Python, then by all means use it (although SciPy is missing some of the random number generators provided here). In C++ and especially C#, it’s harder to find some of this functionality.
