Computer scientists develop open-source tools for dramatically speeding up the programming language Python

Nexus
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A team of computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, led by Emery Berger, recently unveiled a prize-winning Python profiler called Scalene. Programs written with Python are notoriously slow—up to 60,000 times slower than code written in other programming languages—and Scalene works to efficiently identify exactly where Python is lagging, allowing programmers to troubleshoot and streamline their code for higher performance. There are many different programming languages—C++, Fortran and Java are some of the more well-known ones—but, in recent years, one language has become almost ubiquitous: Python. “Python is a ‘batteries-included’ language,” says Berger, who…Continue Reading

Salaries decline across board for software engineers

Nexus
TopCV’s latest annual report shows that salaries for software jobs, while still high, were much lower than in 2022. For the report, TopCV split the dataset for each position into a lower half and a higher half, and used the median of each half to reflect the salary for a position. This method more accurately depicts the salary distribution for each position compared to using average values, the report says. Software interns were the only ones unaffected with their median salary ranging from VND3 million (US$121.5) to VND5 million. For software staff with less than one year’s experience, salaries slid…Continue Reading

As we have been getting a lot of questions about that, we want to lay out our thoughts here. Beyond the potential announcement of the next-gen B100 GPU, GTC is not really an event about chips, GTC is a show for developers. This is Nvidia’s flagship event for…Continue Reading
