Re: [Numpy-discussion] Performance issue in covariance function in Numpy 1.9 and later

[Ecem sogancıoglu]

Hi Ralf,

Thank you so much for your answer.

I finally figured out that the problem was because Numpy 1.9 was not linked
to BLAS. I do not know why because I simply installed numpy 1.9 via the
commands:

apt-get install python3-numpy

If anybody has the same problem, you may want to take a look into this:

Best Regards,
Ecem

[Numpy-discussion] Performance issue in covariance function in Numpy 1.9 and later

[Ecem sogancıoglu]

Hello All,

there seems to be a performance issue with the covariance function in numpy
1.9 and later.

Code example:
*np.cov(np.random.randn(700,37000))*

In numpy 1.8, this line of code requires 4.5755 seconds.
In numpy 1.9 and later, the same line of code requires more than 30.3709 s
execution time.

Has anyone else observed this problem and is there a known bugfix?
