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.

Mojo🔥: Head -to-Head with Python and Numba
Around the same time, I discovered Numba and was fascinated by how easily it could bring huge performance improvements to Python code.
-
Is anyone using PyPy for real work?
Simulations are, at least in my experience, numba’s [0] wheelhouse.

Any data folks coding C++ and Java? If so, why did you leave Python?
That's very cool. Numba introduces just-in-time compilation to Python via decorators and its sole reason for being is to turn everything it can into abstract syntax trees.

PYTHON vs OCTAVE for Matlab alternative
Regarding speed, I don't agree this is a good argument against Python. For example, it seems no one here has yet mentioned numba, a Python JIT compiler. With a simple decorator you can compile a function to machine code with speeds on par with C. Numba also allows you to easily write cuda kernels for GPU computation. I've never had to drop down to writing C or C++ to write fast and performant Python code that does computationally demanding tasks thanks to numba.

Codon: Python Compiler
Just for reference,
* Nuitka[0] "is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11."
* Pypy[1] "is a replacement for CPython" with builtin optimizations such as on the fly JIT compiles.
* Cython[2] "is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language... makes writing C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself."
* Numba[3] "is an open source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code."
* Pyston[4] "is a performance-optimizing JIT for Python, and is drop-in compatible with ... CPython 3.8.12"

Two-tier programming language
Taichi (similar to numba) is a python library that allows you to write high speed code within python. So your program consists of slow python that gets interpreted regularly, and fast python (fully type annotated and restricted to a subset of the language) that gets parallellized and jitted for CPU or GPU. And you can mix the two within the same source file.

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.
