PyData Paris - September 2017 Meetup
Details
The PyData Paris Meetup is back!
Please join us on the 12th of September at the Allianz One Tower. We've got a dynamic lineup of speakers in store for you!
This installment of the PyData Paris meetup will feature Serge Guelton and Maarten Breddels.
Schedule
7:00pm - 7:45pm Serge Guelton. Pythran: OpenMP and SIMD for Python Numerical Kernels
Pythran is an ahead of time compiler for numeric Python Kernels: it turns plain Python modules, with a few restriction, into native ones that run Python-free code.
Pythran is focused on numerical kernels, based on Numpy, and aims at turning high-level Python code into efficient, parallel, vectorized native code. This goal is not an easy one, but many milestones havealready been reached, I'm going to present them, as well as a few forthcoming ones!

7:45pm - 8:30pm Maarten Breddels. A Billion Stars in the Jupyter Notebook
With large astronomical catalogues containing more than a billion stars becoming common, we are preparing for methods to visualize and explore these large datasets. Data volumes of this size requires different visualization techniques, since scatter plots become too slow and meaningless due to overplotting. The vaex python library solves these problems by calculating statistics on N-dimensional grids, processing over a billion rows per second. Visualization of these grids allows exploration of these large catalogues. The 3d visualization is done using ipyvolume, a new library for the Jupyter notebook.
