compiling Python code using LLVM
Project description
A Just-In-Time Compiler for Numerical Functions in Python
Numba is an open source, NumPy-aware optimizing compiler for Python sponsored by Anaconda, Inc. It uses the LLVM compiler project to generate machine code from Python syntax.
Numba can compile a large subset of numerically-focused Python, including many NumPy functions. Additionally, Numba has support for automatic parallelization of loops, generation of GPU-accelerated code, and creation of ufuncs and C callbacks.
For more information about Numba, see the Numba homepage: http://numba.pydata.org
Dependencies
- llvmlite
- NumPy (version 1.9 or higher)
- funcsigs (for Python 2)
