Nov 15, 2019 – We are pleased to announce that NumPy and OpenBLAS, one of NumPy’s key dependencies, have received a joint grant for $195,000 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative through their Essential Open Source Software for Science program that supports software maintenance, growth, development, and community engagement for open source tools critical to science.
This grant will be used to ramp up the efforts in improving NumPy documentation, website redesign, and community development to better serve our large and rapidly growing user base, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the project. While the OpenBLAS team will focus on addressing sets of key technical issues, in particular thread-safety, AVX-512, and thread-local storage (TLS) issues, as well as algorithmic improvements in ReLAPACK (Recursive LAPACK) on which OpenBLAS depends.
More details on our proposed initiatives and deliverables can be found in the full grant proposal. The work is scheduled to start on Dec 1st, 2019 and continue for the next 12 months.
Here is a list of NumPy releases, with links to release notes. Bugfix
releases (only the z
changes in the x.y.z
version number) have no new
-features; minor releases (the y
increases) do.
