NumPy vs. PyTorch vs. VBScript vs. h5py Comparison Chart

Transition seamlessly between eager and graph modes with TorchScript, and accelerate the path to production with TorchServe. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the torch-distributed backend. A rich ecosystem of tools and libraries extends PyTorch and supports development in computer vision, NLP and more. PyTorch is well supported on major cloud platforms, providing frictionless development and easy scaling. Select your preferences and run the install command. Stable represents the most currently tested and supported version of PyTorch. This should be suitable for many users. Preview is available if you want the latest, not fully tested and supported, 1.10 builds that are generated nightly. Please ensure that you have met the prerequisites (e.g., numpy), depending on your package manager. Anaconda is our recommended package manager since it installs all dependencies.

The h5py package is a Pythonic interface to the HDF5 binary data format. It lets you store huge amounts of numerical data, and easily manipulate that data from NumPy. For example, you can slice into multi-terabyte datasets stored on disk, as if they were real NumPy arrays. Thousands of datasets can be stored in a single file, categorized and tagged however you want. H5py uses straightforward NumPy and Python metaphors, like dictionary and NumPy array syntax. For example, you can iterate over datasets in a file, or check out the .shape or .dtype attributes of datasets. You don't need to know anything special about HDF5 to get started. In addition to the easy-to-use high level interface, h5py rests on a object-oriented Cython wrapping of the HDF5 C API. Almost anything you can do from C in HDF5, you can do from h5py.
