# 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


* [x]  gn2 integration

* [x] parsing input datasets

* [x]  benchmark for all datasets rust v gn2 version

* [ ] Figure out how to tell cargo to use the declared dependencies, rather than dowloading the dependencies

* [ ] db queries migration to gn3 or use partial correlation queries

* [ ] add parralel computation

* [ ] code optimization and minor fixes







## Notes

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