Programming GPUs Directly from Python Using NumbaPro
January 26, 2014 by
“NumbaPro is a powerful compiler that takes high-level Python code directly to the GPU producing fast-code that is the equivalent of programming in a lower-level language. It contains an implementation of CUDA Python as well as higher-level constructs that make it easy to map array-oriented code to the parallel architecture of the GPU.”
Video: Building Python-Based Operational Systems for Prediction of Atmospheric Processes
August 6, 2013 by
In this video from the UCAR Software Engineering Assembly, Don Morton from ARSC presents: Building Python-Based Operational Systems for Prediction of Atmospheric Processes. In the context of atmospheric models, operational systems are those that dependably provide important, time-critical forecasts for use in decision-support systems. They are characterized by the need for rapid data acquisition and […]
