“Python remains a single threaded environment with the global interpreter lock as the main bottleneck. Threads must wait for other threads to complete before starting to do their assigned work. The result of this model is that production code is produced that is too slow to be useful for large simulations.”
Performance Insights Using the Intel Advisor Python API
March 1, 2018 by
Tuning a complex application for today’s heterogeneous platforms requires an understanding of the application itself as well as familiarity with tools that are available for assisting with analyzing where in the code itself to look for bottlenecks. The process for optimizing the performance of an application, in general, requires the following steps that are most likely applicable for a wide range of applications.
HPC Carpentry Learning Portal Offers an Intro to HPC

Book Review: Python Data Science Handbook
October 17, 2017 by
I recently had a need for a Python language resource to supplement a series of courses on Deep Learning I was evaluating that depended on this widely used language. As a long-time data science practitioner, my language of choice has been R, so I relished the opportunity to dig into Python to see first hand how the other side of the data science world did machine learning. The book I settled on was “Python Data Science Handbook: Essential Tools for Working with Data” by Jake VanderPlas.
