    Performance... • because it is embarrassingly easy to collect lots of data • turning data->actionable information is hard
  5. [email protected] @IanOzsvald London Python Usergroup October 2013 Cython results Straight

    CPython (in VM): 8.9s Cython1: 5.5s (uses Python lists) Cython3: 3s (uses numpy arrays) Cython4: 0.15s (expanded math) 66* speed­up
  6. [email protected] @IanOzsvald London Python Usergroup October 2013 Numba (continuum.io) •

    Just in Time Compiler (like PyPy/JVM) • Numpy-compatible (unlike PyPy) • LLVM toolchain • Multiple targets (e.g. GPU) • Installation is a touch tricky...
  7. [email protected] @IanOzsvald London Python Usergroup October 2013 Numba results Straight

    CPython (in VM): 8.9s Numba: 1.4s (using numpy arrays – faster than Cython3 at 3s) Numba2: 0.45s (expanded math) 22* speed­up (vs 66* for Cython)
  8. [email protected] @IanOzsvald London Python Usergroup October 2013 Missed out... •

    Ignored PyPy, ShedSkin, Parakeet... • Didn't look at parallelisation • Didn't look at other memory profilers • This will go into the book and maybe training in London
  9. [email protected] @IanOzsvald London Python Usergroup October 2013 Thank you! •
