  • Machine Learning using C++ vs Python
    1 project | /r/cpp_questions | 27 Dec 2021
    Yeah, as someone who writes C++ daily for their ML related job, I concur that the cost of executing a convolutions dwarves the overhead of calling from Python. So as much as I like C++ over Python (because static compilation to find little typos or type mismatches ahead of time is much nicer than exploding 5 minutes later into my batched vision recognition problem 😠), generally for small problems, Python is a nice quick and dirty approach. I do have my eye though on this little C++ numpy clone.
  • Can i use numpy with c or c++ ?
    1 project | /r/cpp | 7 Dec 2021
    Despite being written in C itself, the primary external API is for Python, and though it is possible to call via C, it's quite ungainly (several ref-counted Py_* calls and structs). It's probably easier to just consume a library that targets C++ directly like xtensor (https://xtensor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/numpy.html) or NumCpp (https://github.com/dpilger26/NumCpp).

  • Tilde, My LLVM Alternative
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jan 2025
    Cool. The author has set himself a huge task if he wants to build something like LLVM. An alternative would be to participate in a project with similar goals that is already quite progressed, such as QBE or Eigen (https://github.com/EigenCompilerSuite/); both so far lack optimizers. I consider Eigen very attractive because it supports much more targets and includes assemblers and linkers for all targets. I see the advantage in having a C implementation; Eigen is unfortunately developed in C++17, but I managed to backport the parts I'm using to a moderate C++11 subset (https://github.com/rochus-keller/Eigen). There are different front-ends available, two C compilers among them. And - as mentioned - an optimizer would be great.
