Description
Python is a high-level language that usually hides "bare metal" details from the user. This is desirable in organizing a complex workflow, but it can get in the way of performance or interfacing with C/C++ code.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to "jailbreak" your Python for low-level computing. It will include Numpy tricks, memory mapped files, mixing C++ and Python through Cython, GPU programming through PyCUDA, and accessing ROOT functions from Python without loss of performance.
