Sessions
Discover how scikit-build-core revolutionizes Python extension building with its seamless integration of CMake and Python packaging standards. Learn about its enhanced features for cross-compilation, multi-platform support, and simplified configuration, which enable writing binary extensions with pybind11, Nanobind, Fortran, Cython, C++, and more. Dive into the transition from the classic scikit-build to the robust scikit-build-core and explore its potential to streamline package distribution across various environments.
ITK-Wasm combines the Insight Toolkit (ITK) and WebAssembly to enable high-performance spatial analysis across programming languages and hardware architectures.
ITK-Wasm Python packages work in a web browser via Pyodide but also in system-level environments. We describe how ITK-Wasm bridges WebAssembly with Scientific Python through simple fundamental Python and NumPy-based data structures and Pythonic function interfaces. These interfaces can be accelerated through GPU implementations when available.
We discuss how ITK-Wasm's integration of the WebAssembly Component Model launches Scientific Python into a new world of interoperability, enabling the creation of accessible and sustainable multi-language projects that are easily distributed anywhere.
