Stratax

Stratax is a modern C++ library for efficient multi-dimensional array operations, with Python bindings through pybind11.

Features

• Multi-dimensional arrays: Vector, Matrix, and Tensor classes for structured data
• Flexible operations: Arithmetic, comparison, indexing, and slicing operations
• Explicit contracts: Constructor validation, checked indexing, and documented unchecked access
• Python integration: Python API via the _core extension module
• Efficient computation: Row-major storage with shape and stride metadata

Core Components

Data Structures

• Vector - 1D array type for sequential data
• Matrix - 2D array type for tabular data
• Tensor - N-dimensional array type for general use
• Shape - Dimension information and rank tracking
• Buffer - Underlying contiguous storage management
• ArrayView - Borrowed elements with logical shape and unsigned strides

Operations

• Arithmetic - Element-wise addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
• Comparison - Equality and inequality testing
• Indexing - Checked at access and unchecked owning array access
• Slicing - Positive-step ArrayView selections that share storage
• Algorithms - Creation helpers, conversion helpers, reductions, and reshaping

Validation

• Shape compatibility checking
• Type consistency enforcement
• Index boundary validation
• Dimension count verification
