I'm trying to reduce the memory used in a calculation, so I'd like to
switch my program to float32 instead of float64. Is it possible to
change the numpy default float size, so I don't have to explicitly
state dtype=np.float32 everywhere?
Thanks,
John
This does not exactly answer your question, but you can use the dtype
string representation and positional parameter to make things nicer.
For example:
a = numpy.array( [1.0, 2.0, 3.0], 'f' )
instead of
a = numpy.array( [1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype=numpy.float32 )
