AVX2 vs AVX512 + that iGPU for Data Science speed

If you have no idea what AVX-2 and AVX-512 are, they are names for instruction sets, a combination of CPU design and language that help execute, in this case, math. AVX512 is a newer 512-bit instruction set promising faster performance. Since data science can sometimes be rather slow, faster math sounds very promising. Overall, the …

Anaconda is Slow on Tiger Lake – How to Get MKL-accelerated Python working on Latest Intel CPUs

While doing some benchmarking of my AutoTS package I quickly discovered a troubling trend – my newest, fanciest, most expensive Intel i7 CPUs – an Intel 10700 and 1165G7, were performing vastly slower than their older counterparts. I wasn’t terribly surprised to see the 1165G7 having issues: Tiger Lake – a brand new architecture CPU …
