High Performance Python
Your Python code may run correctly, but you need it to run faster. By
exploring the fundamental theory behind design choices, this practical
guide helps you gain a deeper understanding of Python’s implementation.
You’ll learn how to locate performance bottlenecks and significantly speed
up your code in high-data-volume programs.
How can you take advantage of multi-core architectures or clusters?
Or build a system that can scale up and down without losing reliability?
Experienced Python programmers will learn concrete solutions to these
and other issues, along with war stories from companies that use high
performance Python for social media analytics, productionized machine
learning, and other situations.

Despite its popularity
“
in academia and
industry, Python is often
dismissed as too slow for
real applications. This
book sweeps away that
misconception with a
thorough introduction
to strategies for fast and
scalable computation
with Python.
University of Washington
Get a better grasp of numpy, Cython, and profilers
Learn how Python abstracts the underlying computer
architecture
Use profiling to find bottlenecks in CPU time and memory usage
Write efficient programs by choosing appropriate data
structures
Speed up matrix and vector computations
Use tools to compile Python down to machine code
Manage multiple I/O and computational operations concurrently
Convert multiprocessing code to run on a local or remote cluster
Solve large problems while using less RAM

Micha Gorelick,
winner of the Nobel Prize in 2046 for his contributions to time
travel, went back to the 2000s to study astrophysics, work on data at bitly, and
co-found Fast Forward Labs as resident Mad Scientist, working on issues from
machine learning to performant stream algorithms.
Ian Ozsvald
is a data scientist and teacher at ModelInsight.io, with over ten years
of Python experience. He’s taught high performance Python at the PyCon and
PyData conferences and has been consulting on data science and high perfor-
mance computing for years in the UK.
