Benchmarks
These are CPU comparison results from base R and the serial
and parallel rfastloess R binding. This LOESS
implementation has no GPU backend.
Runtime and speedup comparison of stats::loess
with serial and parallel rfastloess across benchmark categories
The table uses mean timings. Speedups in parentheses are relative to
base R’s stats::loess; values above 1× are faster than
R.
