    How to Access Python for Doing Scientific Computing

    How to access Python for doing scientific computing1 Hans Petter Langtangen1,2 1Center for Biomedical Computing, Simula Research Laboratory 2Department of Informatics, University of Oslo Mar 23, 2015 A comprehensive eco system for scientific computing with Python used to be quite a challenge to install on a computer, especially for newcomers. This problem is more or less solved today. There are several options for getting easy access to Python and the most important packages for scientific computations, so the biggest issue for a newcomer is to make a proper choice. An overview of the possibilities together with my own recommendations appears next.

For an example of what goless can do, here is the Go program at https://gobyexample.com/select reimplemented with goless: c1= goless.chan() c2= goless.chan() def func1(): time.sleep(1) c1.send(’one’) goless.go(func1) def func2(): time.sleep(2) c2.send(’two’) goless.go(func2) for i in range(2): case, val= goless.select([goless.rcase(c1), goless.rcase(c2)]) print(val) It is surely a testament to Go’s style that it isn’t much less Python code than Go code, but I quite like this. Don’t you? 3 goless Documentation, Release 0.6.0 4 Chapter 1. Intro CHAPTER 2 Goroutines The goless.go() function mimics Go’s goroutines by, unsurprisingly, running the routine in a tasklet/greenlet.

    IMPLEMENTING OPTION PRICING MODELS USING PYTHON and CYTHON Sanjiv Dasa and Brian Grangerb

    JOURNAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, Vol. 8, No. 4, (2010), pp. 1–12 © JOIM 2010 JOIM www.joim.com IMPLEMENTING OPTION PRICING MODELS USING PYTHON AND CYTHON Sanjiv Dasa and Brian Grangerb In this article we propose a new approach for implementing option pricing models in finance. Financial engineers typically prototype such models in an interactive language (such as Matlab) and then use a compiled language such as C/C++ for production systems. Code is therefore written twice. In this article we show that the Python programming language and the Cython compiler allows prototyping in a Matlab-like manner, followed by direct generation of optimized C code with very minor code modifications. The approach is able to call upon powerful scientific libraries, uses only open source tools, and is free of any licensing costs. We provide examples where Cython speeds up a prototype version by over 500 times. These performance gains in conjunction with vast savings in programmer time make the approach very promising. 1 Introduction production version in a compiled language like C, C++, or Fortran.

    High-Performance Computation with Python | Python Academy | Training IT

    Training: Python Academy High-Performance Computation with Python Training: Python Academy High-Performance Computation with Python TRAINING GOALS: The requirement for extensive and challenging computations is far older than the computing industry. Today, software is a mere means to a specific end, it needs to be newly developed or adapted in countless places in order to achieve the special goals of the users and to run their specific calculations efficiently. Nothing is of more avail to this need than a programming language that is easy for users to learn and that enables them to actively follow and form the realisation of their requirements. Python is this programming language. It is easy to learn, to use and to read. The language makes it easy to write maintainable code and to use it as a basis for communication with other people. Moreover, it makes it easy to optimise and specialise this code in order to use it for challenging and time critical computations. This is the main subject of this course. CONSPECT: Optimizing Python programs Guidelines for optimization. Optimization strategies - Pystone benchmarking concept, CPU usage profiling with cProfile, memory measuring with Guppy_PE Framework. Participants are encouraged to bring their own programs for profiling to the course. Algorithms and anti-patterns - examples of algorithms that are especially slow or fast in Python. The right data structure - comparation of built-in data structures: lists, sets, deque and defaulddict - big-O notation will be exemplified. Caching - deterministic and non-deterministic look on caching and developing decorates for these purposes. The example - we will use a computionally demanding example and implement it first in pure Python.

IYA2009 Cornerstone project By showcasing some of the best images from the fleet of space-based Image exhibition observatories and wide array of telescopes (and astrophotographers) on the From Earth to the Universe ground, FETTU strives to engage as many people as possible in the wonders of the Universe. As one of the 12 global Cornerstone projects being supported by International Year of Astronomy 2009, FETTU is, in fact, reaching its goals halfway through IYA2009. Over 60 countries in more than 250 separate exhibitions are participating in FETTU. From tiny villages to the largest cities — with budgets large and small — FETTU has been featured on every continent except Antarctica. Since we have framed this project — largely by way of the title — as a journey, we decided to take a tour of the destinations that we have already visited, take stock of our experiences and look at where FETTU might go in the future. Getting started is recognised as a successful tool for the spirit of IYA2009. We encouraged those learners of all ages and increases interest preparing the exhibits — who we dubbed Like most trips into the unknown, this in science, technology, engineering, and “local organisers” — to use whatever mon- one required a fair amount of research, a mathematics in both children and adults1.

With the high ecologic cost of equipping the next trillion embedded devices with batteries, it is critical to equip the makers, hobbyists, and novice embedded systems programmers with easy-to-use tools supporting battery-free energy harvesting application development. This way, makers can create untethered embedded systems that are not plugged into the wall, the desktop, or even a battery, providing numerous new applications and allowing for a more sustainable vision of ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we present BFree, a system that makes it possible for makers, hobbyists, and novice embedded programmers to develop battery-free applications using Python programming language and widely available hobbyist maker platforms. BFree provides energy harvesting hardware and a power failure resilient version of Python, with durable libraries that enable common coding practice and off the shelf sensors. We develop demonstration applications, benchmark BFree against battery-powered
