Cortex

A high-performance, pandas-like DataFrame library for .NET backed by Apache Arrow with SIMD acceleration.

Part of the Cortex data science ecosystem for .NET.

Requires .NET 10+

Features

  • Arrow-backed columnar storage for cache-friendly, zero-copy data access
  • SIMD-accelerated operations for blazing-fast numeric computation
  • Rich I/O — CSV, Parquet, Excel, JSON, Avro, ORC, and HTML out of the box
  • Expressive API — filtering, grouping, joining, pivoting, and reshaping
  • Lazy evaluation — deferred query execution with filter/sort/select optimization
  • Native C accelerators for quantile and aggregation hot paths
  • Dictionary-encoded strings for O(K) categorical operations

Installation

dotnet add package Cortex

Quick Start

using Cortex;

var df = DataFrame.ReadCsv("sales.csv");

var summary = df.GroupBy("region")
    .Agg(x => x.Sum("revenue"), x => x.Mean("quantity"))
    .SortBy("revenue", ascending: false);

summary.Head(10).Print();

Filtering and Boolean Indexing

// Boolean indexing
var senior = df[df["Age"].Gt(28)];

// Query expressions
var filtered = df.Query("Salary > 55000");

// Arithmetic operators on columns
var bonus = df.GetColumn<double>("Salary") * 0.1;

Lazy Evaluation

var result = df.Lazy()
    .Filter(Col("Age") > Lit(25))
    .Sort("Salary", ascending: false)
    .Select("Name", "Salary")
    .Head(10)
    .Collect();

I/O

// Auto-detect format from extension
var df = DataFrameIO.Load("data.parquet");  // .csv, .json, .arrow, .xlsx, .avro, .orc
df.Save("output.csv.gz");                    // gzip-compressed
