Numba
Numba 是一个即时（JIT）编译器，可在运行时将高级 Python 函数转换为优化的机器码。通过利用 LLVM 编译器基础设施，它提供了一个加速数值数据处理和数学计算的框架，使性能水平可与静态编译语言相媲美。
该项目通过其基于类型推断的特化能力脱颖而出，它能生成针对执行期间使用的特定数据类型量身定制的机器指令。它采用延迟编译流水线，将转换推迟到调用时刻，从而在保持跨不同处理器架构和操作系统的一致性能的同时，最大限度地减少启动开销。
除了核心编译外，该工具包还通过将迭代操作和数组表达式分布到多个 CPU 核心和图形处理器上，提供了对硬件加速的广泛支持。它利用向量化和并行化策略来最大限度地提高大规模数值数据集的吞吐量，使开发人员能够直接从标准代码中针对专用硬件进行优化。
