Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? [pdf]
I am biased because this is my research area, but I have to respectfully disagree. Actor models are awful, and the only reason it's not obvious is because everything else is even more awful.
But if you look at e.g., the recent work on task-based models, you'll see that you can have literally sequential programs that parallelize automatically. No message passing, no synchronization, no data races, no deadlocks. Read your programs as if they're sequential, and you immediately understand their semantics. Some of these systems are able to scale to thousands of nodes.
An interesting example of this is cuNumeric, which allows you to take sequential Python programs that use NumPy, and by changing one line (the import statement), run automatically on clusters of GPUs. It is 100% pure awesomeness.

(I don't work on cuNumeric, but I do work on the runtime framework that cuNumeric uses.)

GPT in 60 Lines of NumPy
I know this probably isn't intended for performance, but it would be fun to run this in cuNumeric [1] and see how it scales.

Dask – a flexible library for parallel computing in Python
If you want built-in GPU support (and distributed), you should check out cuNumeric (released by NVIDIA in the last week or so). Also avoids needing to manually specify chunk sizes, like it says in a sibling comment.

Julia is the better language for extending Python
Try dask
Distribute your data and run everything as dask.delayed and then compute only at the end.
Also check out legate.numpy from Nvidia which promises to be a drop in numpy replacement that will use all your CPU cores without any tweaks on your part.

Unifying the CUDA Python Ecosystem
You might be interested in Legate [1]. It supports the NumPy interface as a drop-in replacement, supports GPUs and also distributed machines. And you can see for yourself their performance results; they're not far off from hand-tuned MPI.

Disclaimer: I work on the library Legate uses for distributed computing, but otherwise have no connection.

Keras 3.0
I did not expect anything interesting, but this is actually cool.
> A full implementation of the NumPy API. Not something "NumPy-like" — just literally the NumPy API, with the same functions and the same arguments.

Fedora 40 Eyes Dropping Gnome X11 Session Support
What was the difference in runtime performance, and did you try CuPy?
https://github.com/cupy/cupy :
> CuPy is a NumPy/SciPy-compatible array library for GPU-accelerated computing with Python. CuPy acts as a drop-in replacement to run existing NumPy/SciPy code on NVIDIA CUDA or AMD ROCm platforms.
Projects using CuPy:
-
How does one optimize their functions?
It's more effort though. You will likely have to format your data in specific ways for the GPU to efficiently process it. I've done this kind of thing with PyTorch tensors, but there are also math-specific libraries like CuPy. If you only have millions, Numpy should be fine.
-
Speed Up Your Physics Simulations (250x Faster Than NumPy) Using PyTorch. Episode 1: The Boltzmann Distribution
I'd also recommend checking out CuPy which aims to fully re-implement the Numpy api for CUDA GPUs, while taking advantage of Nvidia's specialized libraries like cuBLAS, cuRAND, cuSOLVER etc. The tradeoff being that it only works with Nvidia GPUs.

ELI5: Why doesn't numpy work on GPUs?
u/Spataner's answer is great. If you WANT GPU-enabled numpy functions, I would check out CuPy: https://cupy.dev/

Help!!! Training neural net in vs code
Not sure how VS Code is relevant here as it's just you IDE, shouldn't have any influence on this. Now, seeing as you're using numpy (which has no gpu support), you could try and use something like CuPy in place of numpy. I'm not sure about the interoperability because I've never used this myself, but if you're lucky it could be as simple as just replacing all numpy calls with the same CuPy calls (or replacing all import numpy as np with import cupy as np ).

What's the best thing/library you learned this year ?
Cupy replicates the numpy and scipy APIs but runs on the GPU.

Making Python fast for free – adventures with mypyc
For that, you can use cupy[0], PyTorch[1] or Tensorflow[2]. They all mimic the numpy's API with the possibility to use your GPU.
