The<br>> Copperhead project attempts to address this problem by defining a<br>> subset of Python which can be compiled and executed in a data-parallel<br>> fashion. Copperhead procedures are expressed as standard, fully-legal<br>> Python procedures operating on Numpy datatypes, which are intercepted,<br>> specialized, and compiled to parallel C code at runtime, and then<br>> executed on a high-performance parallel platform. Since the<br>> Copperhead runtime supports only a subset of Python, the runtime will<br>> revert to standard Python execution if specialization fails. The<br>> current Copperhead runtime targets Nvidia Graphics Processors, which<br>> are highly suited for data-parallel computation and provide high<br>> performance. In this talk, I will be discussing the current state of<br>> Copperhead, as well as plans for future development.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Baypiggies mailing list<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:Baypiggies@python.org">Baypiggies@python.org</a><br>> To change your subscription options or unsubscribe:<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies</a><br><br><hr>Windows 7: It works the way you want.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/default.aspx?ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen:112009v2" target="_new">Learn more.</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>_______________________________________________<br>Baypiggies mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Baypiggies@python.org">Baypiggies@python.org</a><br>To change your subscription options or unsubscribe:<br><a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies</a></div></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
