ILNumerics is a mathematical class library for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) developers and a domain specific language (DSL) for the implementation of numerical algorithms on the .NET platform. While algebra systems with graphical user interfaces focus on prototyping of algorithms, implementation of such algorithms into distribution-ready applications is done using

Visual Studio
and aims at supporting the creation of technical applications based on .NET.

History

ILNumerics started in 2006 as an open source project, originating from the Technical University of Berlin.[1] In 2007 ILNumerics won the BASTA! Innovation Awards 2007[2] as most innovative .NET project in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. After 6 years of open source development, the project added a closed source, proprietary license in 2011, aiming business and academic developers at the same time. The project quickly gained popularity (download numbers and engagement at stackoverflow.com,[3][4][5] download counts from website not available). The

Syntax

ILNumerics implements base functionality frequently needed for application development in technical areas: N-dimensional

alternatives
, which are often weakly typed and therefore easier to adopt.

Graphics

IDE integration

ILNumerics is distributed as an extension to Visual Studio. It adds a tool window to the IDE for the graphical inspection of mathematical objects while stepping through user code.

Performance

Since ILNumerics comes as a

BLAS

ILNumerics arrays utilize the

interoperability
with 3rd party libraries is improved.
