Data-Parallel Extensions for Numba* (`numba-dpex`_) is a standalone extension
for the `Numba*`_ Python JIT compiler. Numba-dpex adds two new features to
Numba: an architecture-agnostic kernel programming API, and a new target that
adds typing and compilation for the `dpnp`_ library. Dpnp is a numerical
computation Python library that has an API similar to NumPy and provides
data-parallel implementations of all its library functions and other operations.
By being able to compile dpnp, numba-dpex offers a way for programmers to
execute NumPy-like "universal function" calls and other array-based expressions
on different types of data-parallel hardware.
Numba: an architecture-agnostic kernel programming API, and a new compilation
target that adds typing and compilation support for the `dpnp`_ library. Dpnp is
a Python library for numerical computing that provides a data-parallel
reimplementation of `NumPy*`_'s API. Numba-dpex's support for dpnp compilation
is a new way for Numba users to write code in a NumPy-like API that is
already supported by Numba, while at the same time automatically running such code
parallelly on various types of architecture.

Numba-dpex is being developed as part of `Intel AI Analytics Toolkit`_ and is
distributed with the `Intel Distribution for Python*`_. The extension is also
