A non sequitir consider no one uses pure Python for numeric compute. People use numpy which is a wrapper around optimized BLAS code, which is usually running at the peak capacity of the CPU. So really this is a statement about how much faster GPUs are than CPUs for doing numeric compute.
- rowanG077 5y agoEven using numpy you leave a LOT of performance on the table because you are till using python to do at least some things. It's not uncommon to see a complete function rewritten in C to be 5x+ faster then python numpy.
