Re: [Numpy-discussion] Time for beta1 of NumPy 1.0

2006-06-30 Thread Eric Jonas
I've got to say +1 for Float64 too. I write a lot of numpy code, and this bites me at least once a week. You'd think I'd learn better, but it's just so easy to screw this up when you have to switch back and forth between matlab (which I'm forced to TA) and numpy (which I use for Real Work).

Is there some way, either within numpy or at build-time, to verify you're using BLAS/LAPACK? Is there one we should be using? ...Eric On Fri, 2006-06-02 at 11:19 -0600, Travis Oliphant wrote: > Joris De Ridder wrote: > > Just to be sure, what exactly is affected when one uses the

[Numpy-discussion] numpy vs numeric benchmarks

2006-06-02 Thread Eric Jonas
Hello! I've been using numeric for a while, and the recent list traffic prompted me to finally migrate all my old code. On a whim, we were benchmarking numpy vs numeric and have been lead to the conclusion that numpy is at least 50x slower; a 1000x1000 matmul takes 16 sec in numpy but 300 ms in num
