JAX vs. NumPy vs. PyQtGraph vs. WebDataRocks Comparison Chart

​JAX is a Python library designed for high-performance numerical computing and machine learning research. It offers a NumPy-like API, facilitating seamless adoption for those familiar with NumPy. Key features of JAX include automatic differentiation, just-in-time compilation, vectorization, and parallelization, all optimized for execution on CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs. These capabilities enable efficient computation for complex mathematical functions and large-scale machine-learning models. JAX also integrates with various libraries within its ecosystem, such as Flax for neural networks and Optax for optimization tasks. Comprehensive documentation, including tutorials and user guides, is available to assist users in leveraging JAX's full potential. ​

PyQtGraph is a pure-python graphics and GUI library built on PyQt/PySide and NumPy. It is intended for use in mathematics/scientific/engineering applications. Despite being written entirely in python, the library is very fast due to its heavy leverage of NumPy for number crunching and Qt's GraphicsView framework for fast display. PyQtGraph is distributed under the MIT open-source license. Basic 2D plotting in interactive view boxes. Line and scatter plots. Data can be panned/scaled by mouse. Fast drawing for real-time data display and interaction. Displays most data types (int or float; any bit depth; RGB, RGBA, or luminance). Functions for slicing multidimensional images at arbitrary angles (great for MRI data). Rapid update for video display or real-time interaction. Image display with interactive lookup tables and level control. Mesh rendering with isosurface generation. Interactive viewports rotate/zoom with mouse. Basic 3D scenegraph for easier programming.
