PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF PYTHON LIBRARIES FOR MULTITHREADING DATA PROCESSING

Topicality. The rapid growth of data in various domains has necessitated the development of efficient tools and libraries for data processing and analysis. Python, a popular programming language for data analysis, offers several libraries, such as NumPy and Numba, for numerical computations. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies comparing the performance of these libraries across different tasks and data sizes. The aim of the study. This study aims to fill this gap by comparing the performance of Python, NumPy, Numba, and Numba.Cuda across different tasks and data sizes. Additionally, it evaluates the impact of multithreading and GPU utilization on computation speed. Research results. The results indicate that Numba and Numba.Cuda significantly optimizes the performance of Python applications, especially for functions involving loops and array operations. Moreover, GPU and multithreading in Python further enhance computation speed, although with certain limitations and considerations. Conclusion. This study contributes to the field by providing valuable insights into the performance of different Python libraries and the effectiveness of GPU and multithreading in Python, thereby aiding researchers and practitioners in selecting the most suitable tools for their computational needs.
