Euroscipy 2019 to present Transonic

I attended Euroscipy 2019 in Bilbao where I presented Transonic.

Here are the slides of my presentation.

Few notes on what I saw

• Other Python accelerators: JAX, pyccel, pystencils...

• Good target for Transonic and Pythran: https://github.com/ogrisel/pygbm

  For Pythran, we would need more OOP support.

• Good Cython and Numba examples for Transonic:

  • https://github.com/jeremiedbb/tutorial-euroscipy-2019

  • http://pycodegen.pages.walberla.net/pystencils/notebooks/demo_benchmark.html

• We need something like a NumFocus Europe.

About Transonic

• For Cython, we have to fully work with fused types

• For Cython, we need to be able to specify if an array will be used as a memoryview or a np.ndarray.

  Transonic should soon support A = Array[int, "1d", "memview"]

• We have to work more on type annotation of Numpy code, see numpy-stub.
