It has been successfully used as a glue language +to drive various simulations implemented in either C, Fortran or the array +manipulation language implemented in the NumPy package. Originally the main +reason why Python was used only as a glue language is because the original +Python implementation is relatively slow. With the recent progress in the PyPy +project, it has been shown that while still not at C speeds, it has been +gaining significant performance improvements the releases, bringing it +closer and closer to C-level speeds. In this talk I would like to explore +how to use it right now, in the near future and our plans to provide a very +robust infrastructure for implementing numerical computations. I will also +spend some time exploring the ideas how dynamic compilation can eventually +outperform static compilation and how having a high-level language helps here. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
