Python’s powerful elegance has driven its adoption at HPC centers for job orchestration, visualization, exploratory data analysis, and even simulation.  But maximizing performance from Python applications can be challenging especially on supercomputing architectures.  This webinar will explain those challenges with a practical emphasis on using Python at NERSC, ALCF, and OLCF.  We will outline a variety of performance optimization strategies, tools for measuring and addressing performance problems, and establish best practices for Python in HPC.
