You most likely don't need a scipy build against it. You should be able to use the oldest scipy our project supports. Numpy does try to not break its reverse dependencies, if stuff breaks it should only occur in edge cases not affecting functionality of real applications (like warnings or

I don't like that approach, closing PRs with valuable code causes them to get lost in the much larger set of closed ones. Instead we could tag them appropriately so they can be found by parties interested in using or finishing them. These could also be used for new contributors to work on. You

hi, even if it are good changes, I find it reasonable to ask for a delay in numpy release if you need more time to adapt. Of course this has to be within reason and can be rejected, but its very valuable to know changes break existing old workarounds. If pyfits broke there is probably a lot more

that test needs about 500Mb of memory on windows as it doesn't have sparse allocations like most *nixes. It used to fail for me during release testing when I only gave the windows VM 1GB of ram. If its a problem for CI we could disable it on windows, or at least skip the complex double case. On

note that anything larger than 16 bytes alignment is unnecessary for simd purposes on current hardware (>= haswell). 16 byte is default malloc alignment on amd64. And even on older ones (sandy bridge) the penalty is pretty minor. On 05.05.2016 22:32, Charles R Harris wrote: On Thu, May 5,

The version of gcc used will make a large difference in some places. E.g. the AVX2 integer ufuncs require something around 4.5 to work and in general the optimization level of gcc has improved greatly since the clang competition showed up around that time. centos 5 has 4.1 which is really ancient.

Hi, As numpy often allocates large arrays and one factor in its performance is faulting memory from the kernel to the process. This has some cost that is relatively significant. For example in this operation on large arrays it accounts for 10-15% of the runtime: import numpy as np a =
