> `float(repr(a)) == a` is guaranteed for Python `float` And `np.float16(repr(a)) == a` is guaranteed for `np.float16`(and the same is true up to `float128`, which can be platform-dependent). Your code doesn't work because you're deserializing to a higher precision format than you serialized to.

[Numpy-discussion] caching large allocations on gnu/linux

2017-03-13 Thread Julian Taylor
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 =
