Loopy lets you easily generate the tedious, complicated code that is necessary to get good performance out of GPUs and multi-core CPUs. Loopy's core idea is that a computation should be described simply and then transformed into a version that gets high performance. This transformation takes place under user control, from within Python.
It can capture the following types of optimizations:
Loopy targets array-type computations, such as the following:
It is not (and does not want to be) a general-purpose programming language.

_ and free for commercial, academic,
and private use. All of Loopy's dependencies can be automatically installed from
the package index after using::
pip install loopy
In addition, Loopy is compatible with and enhances
