The numexpr package evaluates multiple-operator array expressions
|
|
many times faster than NumPy can. It accepts the expression as a
|
|
string, analyzes it, rewrites it more efficiently, and compiles it to
|
|
faster Python code on the fly. It's the next best thing to writing the
|
|
expression in C and compiling it with a specialized just-in-time (JIT)
|
|
compiler, i.e. it does not require a compiler at runtime.
|
|
|
|
Also, and since version 1.4, numexpr implements support for
|
|
multi-threading computations straight into its internal virtual
|
|
machine, written in C. This allows to bypass the GIL in Python, and
|
|
allows near-optimal parallel performance in your vector expressions,
|
|
most specially on CPU-bounded operations (memory-bounded were already
|
|
the strong point of Numexpr).
