Computational speed Python vs. Cluster

[AndersDeleuran]

In addition to what Tom said, here’s a few specific things to consider that may speed up your GHPython components:

Optimum Python Scripting and Iteration

Here’s a few points to consider: And some simple tips on speeding things up: Also, you might be able to multithread your code: Edit: Apologies, this is for GHPython (though the RhinoCommon points and multithreading are still valid). Hadn’t had my coffee yet

This might also help with wrapping your head around how Python is implemented in Rhino:

Start in GhPython -tips

It’s probably C# not C++. The Python version that Rhino implements is called IronPython i.e. a Python flavour for .NET that is written entirely in C#. You can therefore think of IronPython as a high level and dynamic wrapper around C# with Python syntax. This comes at the cost of performance, where especially large computations will be slower than directly written in C#. For more direct considerations about language differences, have a look at this article from old forum. Generally speaking I …
