f2py-jit 0.10.1

Just-in-time Fortran extension builder for Python

f2py-jit

Just-in-time compilation of Fortran code in Python via f2py.

Check out the documentation for full details.

Quick start

Start from a piece of Fortran code.f90

subroutine hello()
  print*, "Hello world!"
end subroutine

Compile the code, import it and execute it

from f2py_jit import jit
f90 = jit('code.f90')
f90.hello()

Do the same but from a python string containing the source block

source = """
subroutine hello()
  print*, "Hello world!"
end subroutine
"""
f90 = jit(source)
f90.hello()

If the Fortran source contains multiple subroutines calling each other, f2py will not perform interprocedural optimizations (at least not by default). f2py_jit can inline the source code before compiling it, and you will get a performace boost [This feature is experimental]

f90 = jit('code.f90', inline=True)

Features

• Compilation of Fortran source blocks as Python strings
• Caching of module builds across executions
• Support for Fortran derived types via f90wrap
• Inlining to improve performance (experimental)

Dependencies

• numpy
• f90wrap
• Fortran compiler

Installation

From pip

pip install f2py-jit

From source

git clone https://framagit.org/coslo/f2py-jit.git
cd f2py_jit
make install
