> Any other ideas? I'm not an expert at all, but I far as I understand if you cannot vectorize your problem, numpy is not the best tool to use if the speed matter a bit. Of course it's not a realistic example, but a simple loop computing a cosine is 3-4 time slower using numpy cos than python

[Numpy-discussion] numpy speed question

2010-11-25 Thread Jean-Luc Menut
Hello all, I have a little question about the speed of numpy vs IDL 7.0. I did a very simple little check by computing just a cosine in a loop. I was quite surprised to see an order of magnitude of difference between numpy and IDL, I would have thought that for such a basic function, the speed
