From Heavy Metal to Irrational Exuberance

ACM Sigarch

have pointed out in their recent Science article (“There’s plenty of room at the Top”) — and cited by Hennessy in his Turing lecture — a naive implementation of matrix-matrix multiply in Python runs between 100x and 60,000x slower than their counterparts written in a “metal” language (highly optimized C).
