Continuum Blaze

Blaze is the next-generation of NumPy. It is designed as a foundational set of abstractions on which to build out-of-core and distributed algorithms over a wide variety of data sources and to extend the structure of NumPy itself. Blaze allows easy composition of low level computation kernels (C, Fortran, Numba) to form complex data transformations on large datasets. In Blaze, computations are described in a high-level language (Python) but executed on a low-level runtime (outside of Python), enabling the easy mapping of high-level expertise to data without sacrificing low-level performance. Blaze aims to bring Python and NumPy into the massively-multicore arena, allowing it to leverage many CPU and GPU cores across computers, virtual machines and cloud services.
