MathSharp

Note: As of 2022 MathSharp is not recommended for general use

Since its inception, the .NET intrinsics and vectors have increased in performance and functionality massively, and they are recommended for any new projects

MathSharp is a vector and matrix library written in C# using hardware intrinsics. Thanks to hardware acceleration, MathSharp is significantly faster than most mathematics libraries out there, but only supports .NET Core 3.0 and up.

MathSharp beats out all alternative for speed. Comparing it to the System.Numerics types and the OpenTk.Math types shows just how fast it is:

[All benchmarks were taken using BenchmarkDotNet on an i3-8350k at stock speeds with minimal background activity, with .NET Core 3.0.100]

Matrix Equality

Sine Wave Generation

Operation

const int SampleRate = 44100;
const float Tau = MathF.PI * 2;
const float Frequency = 440;

for (var i = 0; i < waveInputs.Length; i++)
{
    waveInputs[i] = Sin(Tau * Frequency * ((float)i / SampleRate));
}

Anchored Scale Operation

Operation

const Vector2 Translation = new Vector2(1.7f, 2.3f);
const Vector2 Anchor = new Vector2(1.0f, 0.0f);
const Vector2 Scale = new Vector2(7.0f, 3.6f);
const Vector2 Amount = new Vector2(0.5f, 0.25f);

Vector2 newScale = Scale * Amount;
Vector2 deltaT = Scale * (1 - Amount);
deltaT *= Anchor;
(Translation + deltaT) * newScale;
