# Implementing parallel correlation with rust

### Notes

In an attempt to speed the current gn2 correlation
we are doing an reimplentation in rust to support
parralel computation


## Tags

* assigned:alexm
* type: upgrade
* priority: medium
* status: in progress
* keywords: correlation,rust,parralel


## Tasks

* [X] implementation of basic pearson and spearman correlation in rust

* [X] add unittests and benchmarks

* [X] loading datasets;format

* [X] package the library as a guix package


* [ ] add parralel computation


* [ ] code optimization and minor fixes


* [ ]  gn2 integration(WIP)





## Notes

You can call the lib as an external process from any language or directly call
it in a rust cargo
