Hi @doni,
Processing is built on top of the Java programming language. After searching on internet, the best solution seems to use ND4J which is a Java library close to Numpy:
> **[Quickstart](https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/nd4j/tutorials/quickstart)**
>
> Comprehensive programming guide for ND4J. This user guide is designed to explain (and provide examples for) the main functionality in ND4J.
> **Nd4j** : numpy ++ for java. Contains a mix of numpy operations and tensorflow/pytorch operations.

> Just to clarify, JAMA is linear algebra library for Java (not primarily designed for Procesing) that can be used within P5. I’ve read that [EJML](https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/ejml) (also P5 compatible like any other Java library I guess) is faster, the absolute winner being [ojAlgo](https://github.com/optimatika/ojAlgo/wiki/Getting-Started) according to [this](https://github.com/optimatika/ojAlgo/wiki/Java-Matrix-Benchmark) benchmark. (curious to know how these compare to [ND4J](https://deeplearning4j.org/docs/latest/nd4j-overview)) Incidentally, it would be interesting to have a place (somewhere on this forum or on a specific website / github page) dedicated to the most popular/convenient non-Process…

hi brother, i will read your reference. btw would you like to help me to see processing official list library [https://processing.org/reference/libraries](https://processing.org/reference/libraries) if there is equivalent to numpy. thank you
