Fast Python: High performance techniques for large datasets

Master Python techniques and libraries to reduce run times, efficiently handle huge datasets, and optimize execution for complex machine learning applications.

Fast Python is a toolbox of techniques for high performance Python including:

• Writing efficient pure-Python code
• Optimizing the NumPy and pandas libraries
• Rewriting critical code in Cython
• Designing persistent data structures
• Tailoring code for different architectures
• Implementing Python GPU computing

Fast Python is your guide to optimizing every part of your Python-based data analysis process, from the pure Python code you write to managing the resources of modern hardware and GPUs. You'll learn to rewrite inefficient data structures, improve underperforming code with multithreading, and simplify your datasets without sacrificing accuracy.
