Does one need to (can?) redefine functions from other standard libraries? #88
Description
Activity
HPAT supports a subset of numpy and pandas (https://intellabs.github.io/hpat-doc/dev/source/supportedpandas.html). Because it is based on numba it's use of MKL is similar to numba.
HPAT/numba will compile any python function to native as long as it uses features supported by numba/hpat.
Notice that HPAT auto-distributes data-frames. Getting this feature right for arbitrary functions is of course additional work since you have to tell HPAT how to operate in a distributed setup.
We'd be happy to help if you'd like to try.

As far as I understand, much of
pandasis explicitly supported. Does it mean that other Intel goodies are not supported out of the box? I mean these.Does it matter if I manually add
@hpat.jitto those functions? (Though if it were that easy, you probably would have done already…)FWIW, the econ crowd would love it if
binscattergot magically faster. (Though the Python implementation is lagging behind the Stata/R reboot by now.)
