Slow code will kill a big data project. Fast pure-Python code, optimized libraries, and fully utilized multiprocessor hardware are the price of entry for machine learning and large-scale data analysis. What you need are reliable solutions that respond faster to computing requirements while using less resources, and saving money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFast Python\u003c\/i\u003e is a toolbox of techniques for speeding up Python, with an emphasis on big data applications.
