Optimization Benchmarks

Collection of performance benchmarks used to present optimizations implemented for Intel(R) Distribution for Python*.

Environment Setup

To install Python environments from Intel channel along with pip-installed packages

• conda env create -f environments/intel.yaml
• conda activate intel_env

Run tests

• python numpy/umath/umath_mem_bench.py -v --size 10 --goal-time 0.01 --repeats 1

Run benchmarks

umath

• To run python benchmarks: python numpy/umath/umath_mem_bench.py
• To compile and run native benchmarks (requires icx): make -C numpy/umath

Random number generation

• To run python benchmarks: python numpy/random/rng.py
• To compile and run native benchmarks (requires icx): make -C numpy/random
