Python provides simplicity and readability for writing a
wide range of applications. However, for performance-
critical code involving numerical computing,
optimizations are necessary to achieve high speed and
efficiency.
Here are some tips and techniques to accelerate Python
code using tools like NumPy, Numba, Cython, and more:

Just-in-Time Compilation with Numba
Numba can compile Python functions to optimized
machine code at runtime using decorators like @jit.
This speeds up code with no changes required.

Static Compilation with Cython
Cython compiles Python code to C/C++ and can
integrate with NumPy. This provides major speedups for
math-heavy code.
