Fast Python (Manning)
Wednesday, 05 July 2023

This book, subtitled "High performance techniques for large datasets" sets out Python techniques and libraries to reduce run times, efficiently handle huge datasets, and optimize execution for complex machine learning applications.  Tiago Antao looks at ways of optimizing every part of the Python-based data analysis process, from the pure Python code you write to managing the resources of modern hardware and GPUs.

Readers will learn to rewrite inefficient data structures, improve underperforming code with multithreading, and simplify your datasets without sacrificing accuracy. Written for experienced practitioners, this book dives right into practical solutions for improving computation and storage efficiency.
