numba -> 0.34.0

0.34.0


This release adds a significant set of new features arising from combined work with Intel on ParallelAccelerator technology. It also adds list comprehension and closure support, support for Numpy 1.13 and a new, faster, CUDA reduction algorithm. For Linux users this release is the first to be built on Centos 6, which will be the new base platform for future releases. Finally a number of thread-safety, type inference and other smaller enhancements and bugs have been fixed.

ParallelAccelerator features:

NOTE: The ParallelAccelerator technology is under active development and should be considered experimental.

The ParallelAccelerator technology is accessed via a new "nopython" mode option "parallel". The ParallelAccelerator technology attempts to identify operations which have parallel semantics (for instance adding a scalar to a vector), fuse together adjacent such operations, and then parallelize their execution across a number of CPU cores. This is essentially auto-parallelization.

In addition to the auto-parallelization feature, explicit loop based parallelism is made available through the use of prange in place of range as a loop iterator.

More information and examples on both auto-parallelization and prange are available in the documentation and examples directory respectively.

As part of the necessary work for ParallelAccelerator, support for closures and list comprehensions is added:

  • PR 2318: Transfer ParallelAccelerator technology to Numba
  • PR 2379: ParallelAccelerator Core Improvements
  • PR 2367: Add support for len(range(...))
  • PR 2369: List comprehension
  • PR 2391: Explicit Parallel Loop Support (prange)

The ParallelAccelerator features are available on all supported platforms and Python versions with the exceptions of (with view of supporting in a future release):

  • The combination of Windows operating systems with Python 2.7.
  • Systems running 32 bit Python.

CUDA support enhancements:

  • PR 2377: New GPU reduction algorithm

0.33.0


This release resolved several performance issues caused by atomic reference counting operations inside loop bodies. New optimization passes have been added to reduce the impact of these operations. We observe speed improvements between 2x-10x in affected programs due to the removal of unnecessary reference counting operations.

There are also several enhancements to the CUDA GPU support:

  • A GPU random number generator based on xoroshiro128+ algorithm <http://xoroshiro.di.unimi.it/>_ is added. See details and examples in :ref:documentation <cuda-random>.
  • cuda.jit CUDA kernels can now call jit and njit CPU functions and they will automatically be compiled as CUDA device functions.
  • CUDA IPC memory API is exposed for sharing memory between proceses. See usage details in :ref:documentation <cuda-ipc-memory>.

Reference counting enhancements:

  • PR 2346, Issue 2345, 2248: Add extra refcount pruning after inlining
  • PR 2349: Fix refct pruning not removing refct op with tail call.

0.32.0


In this release, we are upgrading to LLVM 4.0. A lot of work has been done to fix many race-condition issues inside LLVM when the compiler is used concurrently, which is likely when Numba is used with Dask.

Improvements:

  • PR 2322: Suppress test error due to unknown but consistent error with tgamma
  • PR 2320: Update llvmlite dependency to 0.17
  • PR 2308: Add details to error message on why cuda support is disabled.

  • PR 2303: Missing import statements to interval-example.rst

0.31.0


In this release, we added preliminary support for debugging with GDB version >= 7.0. The feature is enabled by setting the debug=True compiler option, which causes GDB compatible debug info to be generated. The CUDA backend also gained limited debugging support so that source locations are showed in memory-checking and profiling tools. For details, see :ref:numba-troubleshooting.

Also, we added the fastmath=True compiler option to enable unsafe floating-point transformations, which allows LLVM to auto-vectorize more code.

Other important changes include upgrading to LLVM 3.9.1 and adding support for Numpy 1.12.

0.19.1


  • Issue 1196:

    • fix double-free segfault due to redundant variable deletion in the Numba IR (1195)
    • fix use-after-delete in array expression rewrite pass

0.19.0


This version introduces memory management in the Numba runtime, allowing to allocate new arrays inside Numba-compiled functions. There is also a rework of the ufunc infrastructure, and an optimization pass to collapse cascading array operations into a single efficient loop.

.. warning:: Support for Windows XP and Vista with all compiler targets and support for 32-bit platforms (Win/Mac/Linux) with the CUDA compiler target are deprecated. In the next release of Numba, the oldest version of Windows supported will be Windows 7. CPU compilation will remain supported on 32-bit Linux and Windows platforms.

Known issues:

  • There are some performance regressions in very short running nopython functions due to the additional overhead incurred by memory management. We will work to reduce this overhead in future releases.

0.17.1


This is a bugfix release that addresses issue 258 that our LLVM binding shared library is missing from the wheel builds.

0.17.0

0.16.0


This release contains a major refactor to switch from llvmpy to llvmlite <https://github.com/numba/llvmlite>_ as our code generation backend. The switch is necessary to reconcile different compiler requirements for LLVM 3.5 (needs C++11) and Python extensions (need specific compiler versions on Windows). As a bonus, we have found the use of llvmlite speeds up compilation by a factor of 2!

Other Major Changes:

  • Faster dispatch for numpy structured arrays
  • Optimized array.flat()
  • Improved CPU feature selection
  • Fix constant tuple regression in macro expansion code

Known Issues:

  • AVX code generation is still disabled by default due to performance regressions when operating on misaligned NumPy arrays. We hope to have a workaround in the future.
  • In extremely rare circumstances, a known issue with LLVM 3.5 <http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21423>_ code generation can cause an ELF relocation error on 64-bit Linux systems.

0.15.1


(This was a bug-fix release that superceded version 0.15 before it was announced.)

Fixes:

  • Workaround for missing __ftol2 on Windows XP.
  • Do not lift loops for compilation that contain break statements.
  • Fix a bug in loop-lifting when multiple values need to be returned to the enclosing scope.
  • Handle the loop-lifting case where an accumulator needs to be updated when the loop count is zero.

Features:

  • Support for the Python cmath module. (NumPy complex functions were already supported.)
  • Support for .real, .imag, and `.conjugate()`` on non-complex numbers.
  • Add support for math.isfinite() and math.copysign().
  • Compatibility mode: If enabled (off by default), a failure to compile in object mode will fall back to using the pure Python implementation of the function.
  • Experimental support for serializing JIT functions with cloudpickle.
  • Loop-jitting in object mode now works with loops that modify scalars that are accessed after the loop, such as accumulators.
  • vectorize functions can be compiled in object mode.
  • Numba can now be built using the Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 <http://aka.ms/vcpython27>_ on Windows platforms.
  • CUDA JIT functions can be returned by factory functions with variables in the closure frozen as constants.
  • Support for "optional" types in nopython mode, which allow None to be a valid value.

Fixes:

  • If nopython mode compilation fails for any reason, automatically fall back to object mode (unless nopython=True is passed to jit) rather than raise an exeception.
  • Allow function objects to be returned from a function compiled in object mode.
  • Fix a linking problem that caused slower platform math functions (such as exp()) to be used on Windows, leading to performance regressions against NumPy.
  • min() and max() no longer accept scalars arguments in nopython mode.
  • Fix handling of ambigous type promotion among several compiled versions of a JIT function. The dispatcher will now compile a new version to resolve the problem. (issue 776)
  • Fix float32 to uint64 casting bug on 32-bit Linux.
  • Fix type inference to allow forced casting of return types.
  • Allow the shape of a 1D cuda.shared.array and cuda.local.array to be a one-element tuple.
  • More correct handling of signed zeros.
  • Add custom implementation of atan2() on Windows to handle special cases properly.
  • Eliminated race condition in the handling of the pagelocked staging area used when transferring CUDA arrays.
  • Fix non-deterministic type unification leading to varying performance. (issue 797)

0.14


Features:

  • Support for nearly all the Numpy math functions (including comparison, logical, bitwise and some previously missing float functions) in nopython mode.
  • The Numpy datetime64 and timedelta64 dtypes are supported in nopython mode with Numpy 1.7 and later.
  • Support for Numpy math functions on complex numbers in nopython mode.
  • ndarray.sum() is supported in nopython mode.
  • Better error messages when unsupported types are used in Numpy math functions.
  • Set NUMBA_WARNINGS=1 in the environment to see which functions are compiled in object mode vs. nopython mode.
  • Add support for the two-argument pow() builtin function in nopython mode.
  • New developer documentation describing how Numba works, and how to add new types.
  • Support for Numpy record arrays on the GPU. (Note: Improper alignment of dtype fields will cause an exception to be raised.)
  • Slices on GPU device arrays.
  • GPU objects can be used as Python context managers to select the active device in a block.
  • GPU device arrays can be bound to a CUDA stream. All subsequent operations (such as memory copies) will be queued on that stream instead of the default. This can prevent unnecessary synchronization with other streams.

Fixes:

  • Generation of AVX instructions has been disabled to avoid performance bugs when calling external math functions that may use SSE instructions, especially on OS X.
  • JIT functions can be removed by the garbage collector when they are no longer accessible.
  • Various other reference counting fixes to prevent memory leaks.
  • Fixed handling of exception when input argument is out of range.
  • Prevent autojit functions from making unsafe numeric conversions when called with different numeric types.
  • Fix a compilation error when an unhashable global value is accessed.
  • Gracefully handle failure to enable faulthandler in the IPython Notebook.
  • Fix a bug that caused loop lifting to fail if the loop was inside an else block.
  • Fixed a problem with selecting CUDA devices in multithreaded programs on Linux.
  • The pow() function (and ** operation) applied to two integers now returns an integer rather than a float.
  • Numpy arrays using the object dtype no longer cause an exception in the autojit.
  • Attempts to write to a global array will cause compilation to fall back to object mode, rather than attempt and fail at nopython mode.
  • range() works with all negative arguments (ex: range(-10, -12, -1))

  • Vectorize no longer crashes/gives an error when bool_ is used as return type
  • Return the correct dictionary when globals() is used in JIT functions

0.12.2


Fixes:

  • Improved NumPy ufunc support in nopython mode
  • Misc bug fixes

0.12.1


This version fixed many regressions reported by user for the 0.12 release. This release contains a new loop-lifting mechanism that specializes certains loop patterns for nopython mode compilation. This avoid direct support for heap-allocating and other very dynamic operations.

Improvements:

  • Add loop-lifting--jit-ing loops in nopython for object mode code. This allows functions to allocate NumPy arrays and use Python objects, while the tight loops in the function can still be compiled in nopython mode. Any arrays that the tight loop uses should be created before the loop is entered.

Fixes:

  • Add support for majority of "math" module functions
  • Fix for...else handling
  • Add support for builtin round()
  • Fix tenary if...else support
  • Revive "numba" script
  • Fix problems with some boolean expressions
  • Add support for more NumPy ufuncs

0.12

this refactor was to simplify the code base to create a better foundation for further work. A secondary objective was to improve the worst case performance to ensure that compiled functions in object mode never run slower than pure Python code (this was a problem in several cases with the old c
