NumPy 1.21, a Python library for scientific computing, is now available, which is focused on working with multidimensional arrays and matrices, and also provides a large collection of functions with the implementation of various algorithms related to the use of matrices. NumPy is one of the most popular libraries used for scientific computing. The project code is written in Python with C optimizations and distributed under the BSD license.
In the new version:
- Work continued on optimizing features and platforms using SIMD vector instructions.
- An initial implementation of a new infrastructure for the dtype class and type casting has been proposed.
- Universal (for x86_64 and arm64 architectures) NumPy wheel packages for Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 on the macOS platform are proposed.
- Improved annotations in code.
- Added new bit generator PCG64DXSM for random numbers.
