Theano

If you are interested in niche topics such as deep learning and machine learning, then it's very probable that you may have considered using Theano. Theano is a Python library that is ideal for working with multi-dimensional arrays such as NumPy’s ndarrays, and it’s exceptionally performant when it comes to doing so. Theano relies on the GPU in order to provide performance that can surpass C on a typical CPU many times over.

Requirements

Theano is available for those of us on either Python 2.7 or on a version of Python greater than 3.3 but less than version 3.6. You'll also need to install NumPy and SciPy. For a fuller list of requirements, I recommend you check out the official requirements documentation, which can be found at http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/requirements.html.

Getting started

Theano is incredibly easy to get started with, and it was a pleasure learning it for the purpose of this chapter. The official documentation for the library is surprisingly good and features...

Mastering Concurrency in Python

Mastering Concurrency in Python

Python is one of the most popular programming languages, with numerous libraries and frameworks that facilitate high-performance computing. Concurrency and parallelism in Python are essential when it comes to multiprocessing and multithreading; they behave differently, but their common aim is to reduce the execution time. This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to various advanced concepts in concurrent engineering and programming.
