Session
Python is the go-to language in AI for its simplicity, but it often struggles with heavy computations due to the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). This talk shows how Foreign Function Interfaces (FFIs) like Cython, ctypes, cffi, and PyO3 can dramatically enhance Python performance by calling native C, C++, or Rust code. Attendees will learn to identify bottlenecks, apply FFIs effectively, and accelerate AI and data science workflows.
