The release of the Python library for scientific computing, NumPy 1.21, is now available. It is focused on handling multidimensional arrays and matrices, and provides a large collection of functions implementing various algorithms related to matrix usage. NumPy is one of the most in-demand libraries used for scientific calculations. The project code is written in Python with optimizations in C, and is distributed under the BSD license.
In the new version:
- Work on optimizing functions and platforms using SIMD vector instructions has continued.
- An initial implementation of a new infrastructure for the dtype class and type casting has been proposed.
- Universal (for x86_64 and arm64 architectures) wheel packages of NumPy for Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 on the macOS platform have been proposed.
- Code annotations have been improved.
- A new bit generator, PCG64DXSM, for random numbers has been added.
