faer is a pure Rust linear algebra library providing low-level routines and a high-level ergonomic wrapper for dense matrix computations. It focuses on portability, correctness, and performance, with published benchmarks.

Use cases

  • perform matrix decompositions in Rust
  • solve linear systems of equations
  • do linear algebra without BLAS/LAPACK dependencies
  • fast dense matrix multiplication in Rust
  • build scientific or ML code needing matrix math in Rust

When to choose

  • you need a pure-Rust, dependency-light linear algebra library
  • performance and correctness in dense linear algebra matter
  • you want an ergonomic high-level API over low-level routines

When to avoid

  • you need sparse matrix support or features outside its scope
  • you're locked into an existing BLAS/LAPACK ecosystem
  • you need a mature multi-decade library like NumPy/Eigen equivalents
