Cython: investigate new features #466

Closed sf-issues closed 10 years ago

Converted from SourceForge issue 3422345, submitted by ceball Submit Date: 2011-10-12 14:38 GMT

Since we last looked at Cython, several interesting new features have been included. Should check them out and see if they let us do something we couldn't before, or make something else easier. Including at least:

* OpenMP - http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/parallelism.html

Also, a developer who has been involved in many of the new features that might interest us is actually at Edinburgh, doing HPC.

Philipp has implemented a Cython alternative to our weave code which is OpenMP enabled.

This post may still be useful as a reference (and the Cython implementation may be improved). However, I shall close this issue unless there is something specific about the Cython support to discuss.
