PyData Bratislava Meetup #15 [Parallel Computing in Python using Dask]
Details
Talk Title: "How to speed up Data Science tasks in Python using Dask"
Description: In this session I'm going to talk about Dask. If you are working with Pandas or Numpy, sooner or later you start to struggle with insufficient memory or performance issues.
This is where Dask comes into play. It can help you to your application through multiprocessing, clustering and handle large datasets. In this session we will walk through a real-world application, where I used Dask to speed up a Monte Carlo simulation.
Speaker/Bio: Gábor Patassy - Senior Python Developer
Worked as an R&D engineer for fiber optic sensors for 8 years. Today he is a full time Python developer at ERNI.

PyData is a group for users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. We gather to discuss how best to apply Python tools, as well as those using R and Julia, to meet the evolving challenges in data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData groups, events, and conferences aim to provide a venue for users acrossall the various domains of data analysis to share their experiences and their techniques. PyData is organized by NumFOCUS.org, a 501(c)3 non-profit in the United States.
