From an Irrational Fear of Basement Flooding to an Ongoing Amazon Web Services IoT Class

What began as a project rooted in paranoia that my basement would flood evolved first into a lunch-and-learn I hosted for Cardinal Peak employees. During my initial presentation, I focused on Amazon Web Services' "internet of things" (AWS IoT) services and how I created "SumPy," an AWS IoT-driven sump pump monitor and alert system.

Increasing Speed: Cython vs CPython vs Python & Pypy

Last week I started this two-part blog series about increasing the speed of Python through Cython and PyPy. While we already discussed the effects of Cython, I wanted to continue the discussion with a look at PyPy and then a contrast of both PyPy and Cython. What is PyPy and how fast is it? PyPy...

How To Speed Up Python Code With Cython & PyPy: Part 1

When a Python program runs too slowly for our liking, there are several ways to speed it up. Our expert recently spent some time experimenting with two of the most popular tools: Cython and PyPy. This two-part post begins by delving into Cython.
