Fourth PyDataLondon Meetup

We’ve just run our 4th PyDataLondon meetup (@PyDataLondon). Having over 500 members is superb for just 4 months growth, woot 🙂 Many thanks to @GoPivotalEMEA for hosting us. We had 3 speakers and 1 lightning talk. Here are my slides on “The High Performance Python Landscape”: I’m still collecting data for my two surveys (to […]

Applied Parallel Computing (PyCon 2013 Tutorial) slides and code

Minesh B. Amin (MBASciences) and I (Mor Consulting Ltd) taught Applied Parallel Computing over 3 hours at PyCon 2013. PyCon this year was a heck of a lot of fun, I did the fun run (mentioned below), received one of the free 2500 RaspberryPis that were given away, met an awful lot of interesting people […]

Demoing pyCUDA at the London Financial Python User Group

On Wednesday night I jumped on a train up to London to visit the London Financial Python User Group to give a short demo of pyCUDA. I’m using CUDA heavily for my physics consultancy and I figured the finance guys would be interested in 10-1000* speed-ups for their calculations. The raw figures and the Mandelbrot […]

22,937* faster Python math using pyCUDA

I’ve just uploaded a new Mandelbrot.py demo for pyCUDA, it adds a new calculation routine that straddles the numpy (C based math) and the pure-CUDA implementations. In total there are 4 variants to choose from. The speed differences are huge! Update – this Reddit thread has more details including real-world timings for two client problems […]

pyCUDA on Windows and Mac for super-fast Python math using CUDA

I’ve just started to play with pyCUDA which lets you run parallel math operations on a CUDA-compliant NVidia graphics card through Python. Update – I’ve written a High Performance Python tutorial (July 2011, 55 pages) which covers pyCUDA and other technologies, you might find it useful. CUDA stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture – it […]
