Python and HPC is something receiving quite some attention. The reasoning is that the combination can unlock user productivity,the way it did for data science / machine learning with the use of standardized and (relatively) user-friendly libraries such as numpy/pandas. But the python+hpc end game is not yet visible. There are lots of incompatible frameworks, extensions, compilers etc but nothing sticking out as particularly compeling. Maybe this is the nature of the beast.
- make3 2y agoyou don't mention the top one, pytorch, which is behind most AI
- openrisk 2y agopytorch is still rather narrow in the range of applications / tasks it supports (deep learning algorithms and the related workflows). It does illustrate what it takes to address a subdomain comprehensively (supporting different hardware architectures etc.). But not sure it will ever become a general purpose hpc framework for python.
