Contiguous memory and finding segfaults in Cython

Read Original

This technical article discusses using Cython for high-performance scientific code, focusing on the advantages of raw pointers and contiguous memory access for speed. It details the trade-offs in safety, explains how to debug segfaults from memory-safety bugs, and compares approaches like typed memoryviews for use with libraries like BLAS and LAPACK in projects such as QuTiP.
