Using Numba and GPUs to speed up Python in financial modeling
Chad Schuster describes how financial-services teams can combine Python’s development speed with near C-like performance using Numba JIT compilation and GPUs. He highlights actuarial modeling results, including performance gains of up to 750x, along with trade-offs such as type inference issues, object-oriented programming limits, and compilation overhead.
