FWIW, I think it's a really cool project. I'm not the target demographic at PyCon, but I would be very surprised if this isn't a well-received talk. On Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 12:13 PM, Yaroslav Halchenko <lists@onerussian.com>wrote:
Hi Guys,
PyCon 2014 will be just around the corner from where I am, so I decided to attend. Being lazy (or busy) I haven't submitted any big talk but thinking to submit few lightning talks (just 5 min and 400 characters abstract limit), and I think it might be worth letting people know about my little project. I would really appreciate your sincere feedback (e.g. "not worth it" would be valuable too). Here is the title/abstract
numpy-vbench -- speed benchmarks for NumPy
http://yarikoptic.github.io/numpy-vbench provides collection of speed performance benchmarks for NumPy. Benchmarking of multiple maintenance and current development branches allows not only to timely react to new performance regressions, but also to compare NumPy performance across releases. Your contributions would help to guarantee that your code does not become slower with a new NumPy release.
btw -- fresh results are here http://yarikoptic.github.io/numpy-vbench/ .
I have tuned benchmarking so it now reflects the best performance across multiple executions of the whole battery, thus eliminating spurious variance if estimate is provided from a single point in time. Eventually I expect many of those curves to become even "cleaner".
