Description:
This talk explores the intersection of Python and Cython, emphasizing how understanding Cython can deepen one's knowledge of the Python Virtual Machine (PVM) and Python's performance characteristics.
Attendees will gain insights into the PVM's inner workings, Cython's role in enhancing performance, and practical tips for integrating Cython into their Python projects, especially for machine learning optimization.
