EPD 6.1 & Upcoming Webinars

[Amenity Applewhite]

March is shaping up to be as busy as ever: planning SciPy 2010 (http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2010 
), two great
webinars...and a new release of EPD!

*Enthought Python Distribution 6.1*

In EPD 6.1, NumPy and SciPy are dynamically linked against the MKL
linear algebra routines. This allows EPD users to seamlessly benefit  
from
the highly optimized BLAS and LAPACK routines in the MKL. We were  
certainly
expecting to observe performance improvements, but we were surprised  
at just
how dramatic the optimizations were for applications run on dual and
multi-core Intel® processors. Refer to our benchmarking tests for more  
info:

Then try it yourself!

*Enthought March Webinars*
This Friday, Travis Oliphant will lead a webinar on optimization
methods in EPD.  Then, on the 19th, we'll host a webinar on Python  
libraries
for integrating C and C++ code, namely Weave, Cython, and
ctypes.
