Re: [Numpy-discussion] numexpr efficency depends on the size of the computing kernel

Just a quick followup about this issue: After a bit of investigation, I discovered that the responsible for the difference in performance between the original numexpr and their PyTables counterpart (see the message below) was due *only* to the different flags used for compiling (and not to a ca

Hi, Now that I'm commanding my old AMD Duron machine, I've made some benchmarks just to prove that the numexpr computing is not influenced by the size of the CPU cache, but I failed miserably (and Tim was right: there is a dependency of the numexpr efficency on CPU cache size). Provided that the
