unPython: Converting Python Numerical Programs into C
نویسنده
چکیده
unPython is a Python-to-C compiler intended for numerical Python programs. The compiler takes as input type-annotated Python source and produces C source code for an equivalent extension module. The compiler is NumPy-aware and can convert most NumPy indexing or slicing operations into C array accesses. Furthermore the compiler also allows annotating certain for-loops as parallel and can generate OpenMP code thus providing an easy way to take advantage of multicore architectures.

A Complete Descritpion of the UnPython and Jit4GPU Framework
A new compilation framework enables the execution of numerical-intensive applications in an execution environment that is formed by multi-core Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). A critical innovation is the use of a variation of Linear Memory Access Descriptors (LMADs) to analyze loop nests and determine automatically which memory locations must be transferred...
متن کاملConverting Python Virtual Machine Code to C
The optimization of a Python program has a limit point, beyond which a programmer must resort to C code in order to get more speed. Not all programmers are willing or able to take this step. 211 is an experimental program which automatically converts Python virtual machine code into C. In this paper I discuss 211, its results, and suggest changes to Python’s internals which should yield better ...

Jit4OpenCL is a new compiler that converts scientific applications written in Python/NumPy into OpenCL code. This compiler is based on unPython, an ahead-of-time compiler from Python/Numpy to an intermediate form and OpenMP code, and on jit4GPU, a just-in-time compiler that converts that intermediate code into AMD CAL code that is specific for AMD GPUs. The targeting of OpenCL provides a new ev...

Python is a popular programming language that uses reference counting to manage heap objects. Python also has a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) that allows Python extension modules to be written in native code such as C and C++. Native code, however, is outside Python’s system of memory management; therefore extension programmers are responsible for making sure these objects are reference coun...

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics [1]. It currently is widely used in statistics and data mining. To obtain derivatives in R, one can use several non-native approaches, including the TMB system [2] and Ryacas [3]. However, none of these options support the di↵erentiation of functions expressed as R programs, as would an algorithmic di↵erentiation (AD) tool f...
