Intel® Distribution for Python

Achieve Greater Performance with Minimal or No Code Changes

• Near-native performance comes through acceleration of core Python numerical packages. This is done using Intel® Performance Libraries such as Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) and Intel® oneAPI Data Analytics Library (oneDAL).
• Compile your custom code using core compiler technologies such as Numba* and Cython. These apply vectorization and multithreading to your code, bringing Python to new levels.
• Leverage composable parallelism through Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). These technologies help you avoid excess headroom, use nested parallelism without oversubscription, and optimize particular workloads for the highest performance.
• Program for multiple devices using the same programming model, DPPy (Data Parallel Python), thereby avoiding rewriting CPU code to device code. Its included package, dpCtl, lets you control execution and data management across the host and devices.
• Run your numeric and machine learning (ML) workloads on data-parallel and heterogeneous hardware without having to go out of the Python ecosystem, while simultaneously not compromising on performance using DPPy.
