[Numpy-discussion] IDL vs Python parallel computing

[Siegfried Gonzi]

Hi all

I noticed IDL uses at least 400% (4 processors or cores) out of the box 
for simple things like reading and processing files, calculating the 
mean etc.

I have never seen this happening with numpy except for the linalgebra 
stuff (e.g lapack).

Any comments?

Thanks,
Siegfried
