Description

Python high-level programming language in the field of astrophysics and astroparticle physics is the most widely used software langage, but its performances is still challenging for researchers. In this talk, I will present performance benchmark results that we have obtained by comparing Numpy Python libraries and a mathematical Python library wrapped on our own optimized C/C++ code. Along with benchmark performance, I also present some of the best practices for python developers.
