Jeff shows you how to configure and start using Intel's Python distribution with Visual Studio Code. He also shows you some of the speed improvements included in the distribution.

  • Improves the speed of common libraries and algorithms, especially data analytics.
  • New Optimizations in SciPy and NumPy packages provide speedups for scikit-learn
  • Leverages Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel DAAL)
  • For some scikit-learn algorithms, performance increase by 140x!

Jeff does an install with the Intel Distribution and then runs a simple benchmark on his machine to see how much of a performance improvement we see by using Intel Thead Building Blocks.
