- Discover sharing copied arrays that is up to 516.91x faster.
NumPy is how we represent arrays of numbers in Python.
An entire ecosystem of third-party libraries has been developed around NumPy arrays, from machine learning and deep learning to image and computer vision and more.
Given the wide use of NumPy, it is essential we know how to get the most out of our system when using it.
We cannot afford to have CPU cores sit idle when performing mathematical operations on arrays.
Therefore we must know how to correctly harness concurrency in NumPy, such as:
- NumPy has multithreaded algorithms and functions built-in (using BLAS).
- NumPy will release the infamous GIL so Python threads can run in parallel.
- NumPy arrays can be shared efficiently between Python processes using shared memory.
The problem is, no one is talking about how.
Introducing: "Concurrent NumPy in Python". A new book designed to teach you how to bring concurrency to your NumPy programs in Python, super fast!
You will get fast-paced tutorials showing you how to bring concurrency to the most common NumPy tasks.
Including:
- Parallel array multiplication, common math functions, matrix solvers, and decompositions.
- Parallel array filling and parallel creation of arrays of random numbers.
- Parallel element-wise array arithmetic and common array math functions
- Parallel programs for working with many NumPy arrays with thread and process pools.
- Efficiently share arrays directly, and copies of arrays between Python processes.
Don't worry if you are new to NumPy programming or concurrency, you will also get primers on the background required to get the most out of this book, including:
- The importance of concurrency when using NumPy and the cost of approaching it naively.
- How to perform common NumPy operations and math functions.
- How to install, query, and configure BLAS libraries for built-in multithreaded NumPy functions.
- How to use Python concurrency APIs including threading, multiprocessing, and pools of workers.
Each tutorial is carefully designed to teach one critical aspect of how to bring concurrency to your NumPy projects.
Learn Python concurrency correctly, step-by-step.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
