stochastic-rs

A high-performance Rust library for simulating stochastic processes, with first-class bindings. Built for quantitative finance, statistical modeling and synthetic data generation.

Features

• 85+ stochastic models - diffusions, jump processes, stochastic volatility, interest rate models, autoregressive models, noise generators, and probability distributions
• Copulas - bivariate, multivariate, and empirical copulas with correlation utilities
• Quant toolbox - option pricing, bond analytics, calibration, loss models, order book, and trading strategies
• Statistics - MLE, kernel density estimation, fractional OU estimation, and CIR parameter fitting
• SIMD-optimized - fractional Gaussian noise, fractional Brownian motion, and all probability distributions use wide SIMD for fast sample generation
• Parallel sampling - sample_par(m) generates m independent paths in parallel via rayon
• Generic precision - most models support both f32 and f64
• Bindings - full stochastic model coverage with numpy integration; all models return numpy arrays

Usage

Rust

use stochastic_rs::stochastic::process::fbm::FBM;
use stochastic_rs::stochastic::volatility::heston::Heston;
use stochastic_rs::stochastic::volatility::HestonPow;
use stochastic_rs::traits::ProcessExt;

fn main() {
    // Fractional Brownian Motion
    let fbm = FBM::new(0.7, 1000, None);
    let path = fbm.sample();

    // Parallel batch sampling
    let paths = fbm.sample_par(1000);

    // Heston stochastic volatility
    let heston = Heston::new(
        Some(100.0),   // s0
        Some(0.04),    // v0
        2.0,           // kappa
        0.04,          // theta
        0.3,           // sigma
        -0.7,          // rho
        0.05,          // mu
        1000,          // n
        None,          // t
        HestonPow::Sqrt,
        Some(false),
    );
    let [price, variance] = heston.sample();
}

Bindings

All models return numpy arrays. Use dtype="f32" or dtype="f64" (default) to control precision.

import stochastic_rs as sr

# Basic processes
fbm = sr.PyFBM(0.7, 1000)
path = fbm.sample()           # shape (1000,)
paths = fbm.sample_par(500)   # shape (500, 1000)

# Stochastic volatility
heston = sr.PyHeston(mu=0.05, kappa=2.0, theta=0.04, sigma=0.3, rho=-0.7, n=1000)
price, variance = heston.sample()

# Models with callable parameters
hw = sr.PyHullWhite(theta=lambda t: 0.04 + 0.01*t, alpha=0.1, sigma=0.02, n=1000)
rates = hw.sample()

# Jump processes with custom jump distributions
import numpy as np
merton = sr.PyMerton(
    alpha=0.05, sigma=0.2, lambda_=3.0, theta=0.01,
    distribution=lambda: np.random.normal(0, 0.1),
    n=1000,
)
log_prices = merton.sample()

Benchmarks

CUDA build details (Windows/Linux commands) are documented in src/stochastic/cuda/CUDA_BUILD.md.

CUDA fallback (if auto-build fails)

If cargo build --features cuda fails (for example: nvcc fatal : Cannot find compiler 'cl.exe'), use prebuilt CUDA FGN binaries.

1. Download the platform file from GitHub Releases:
   https://github.com/dancixx/stochastic-rs/releases
2. Place it at:
   • Windows: src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_windows/fgn.dll
   • Linux: src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_linux/libfgn.so
3. Set runtime path explicitly:

$env:STOCHASTIC_RS_CUDA_FGN_LIB_PATH='src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_windows/fgn.dll'

export STOCHASTIC_RS_CUDA_FGN_LIB_PATH=src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_linux/libfgn.so

FGN CPU vs CUDA (sample, sample_par, sample_cuda)

Measured with Criterion in --release using:

$env:STOCHASTIC_RS_CUDA_FGN_LIB_PATH='src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_windows/fgn.dll'
cargo bench --bench fgn_cuda --features cuda -- --noplot

Environment:

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
• Rust: rustc 1.93.1
• CUDA library: src/stochastic/cuda/fgn_windows/fgn.dll (fatbin sm_75+)

Note: one-time CUDA init is excluded via warmup (sample_cuda(...) called once before each benchmark case).

Single path (sample vs sample_cuda(1), f32, H=0.7):

Batch (sample_par(m) vs sample_cuda(m), f32, H=0.7):

Interpretation:

• CUDA wins for large single-path generation (from roughly n >= 16k in this setup).
• For the tested batch sizes, CPU sample_par is faster than current CUDA path.

Distribution Sampling (Compact Summary)

SIMD distribution sampling (stochastic-rs) vs rand_distr measured with Criterion (benches/distributions.rs).
