Is this an alternative to the cpython interpreter, or is it just a bundle with numpy-backed MKL? Not that it wouldn't be handy, but anaconda python does provide this too.
- marmaduke 9y agoIt's the same stack, but compiled with Intels compilers against Intel math libraries (mkl and teh others). If you use standard algorithms it's a good choice.
- tarlinian 9y agoIt's still CPython but many of the scientific software stack pieces (NumPy/SciPy/SKLearn) have been re-written to call Intel optimized libraries (MKL/DAAL mainly).
- thearn4 9y agoSounds interesting, I'll have to give it a shot then!
- neves 9y agoThe same CPython, just with a compiler that makes better user of Intel chips instructions. It is almost the same of Anaconda distribution that has all the math libs included.
