Numba makes Python code go fast. It works by decorating your functions with decorators that tell Numba to compile them. It is particularly effective for code that involves heavy numerical loops and NumPy array manipulations.
Official docs: https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/index.html User Guide: https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/user/index.html Search patterns: @njit, @vectorize, prange, cuda.jit, numba.typed
This is the "gold standard" for Numba. In this mode, Numba compiles the code without using the Python C-API, resulting in maximum speed. If it can't compile (e.g., because of unsupported Python objects), it throws an error.
A Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler for Python that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code. Developed by Anaconda, Inc. Highly effective for accelerating loops, custom mathematical functions, and complex numerical algorithms. Use for @njit, @vectorize, prange, cuda.jit, numba.typed, JIT compilation, parallel loops, GPU acceleration with CUDA, Monte Carlo simulations, numerical algorithms, and high-performance Python computing.
