Description

I built a custom chip that executes Python ByteCode. PyXL potentially speeds up pure Python code execution by 4x compared to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro. PyXL has diverse use cases, ranging from speed improvements on traditional hosts to enabling Python as a viable option for real-time systems where deterministic performance is crucial.
