Frequently asked questions about Shumai (Meta)
What is Shumai and what does it do?
Shumai is a fast, network-connected, differentiable tensor library for TypeScript and JavaScript, designed for building and training machine learning models. It leverages Bun and Flashlight to enable efficient tensor computations and model sharing across devices.
Who is Shumai designed for?
Shumai is intended for software engineers and researchers who work with machine learning models in TypeScript or JavaScript. Its intuitive API and performance optimizations make it accessible for both development and experimentation.
How do I install Shumai?
Shumai can be installed via Bun after installing ArrayFire as a backend. Installation steps vary by operating system, with macOS defaulting to CPU computation and Linux to GPU computation using CUDA. Detailed instructions are provided in the repository.
What are the supported platforms for Shumai?
Shumai currently supports macOS and Linux. Windows is not officially supported. The library defaults to GPU computation on Linux with CUDA and CPU computation on macOS.
Does Shumai support GPU acceleration?
Yes, Shumai attempts to use attached GPUs or accelerators for computation. On Linux, it defaults to GPU computation with CUDA, while macOS uses CPU computation by default.
Is Shumai stable for production use?
Shumai is labeled as experimental software, indicating it is not yet fully stable or production-ready. Users should expect potential issues and limitations during development.
