Description

Python is powerful but slow - held back by interpreter overhead and dynamic typing. What if it ran natively on hardware?

I built PyXL, a custom processor designed to accelerate Python execution in silicon, eliminating its biggest performance bottlenecks. PyXL achieves massive efficiency gains per cycle, even significantly surpassing high-end CPUs like the M1 Pro!

Come see how Python can break free from its speed limits without rewriting a single line of code.
