Santiago promotes Maxwell, a code execution model that speeds up scripts 38.4x

Santiago (@svpino) promotes Maxwell, a code execution model that observes a script running on CPUs or GPUs and rewrites its binary to run faster.

In one example, Santiago says Maxwell made a pandas pipeline 38.4x faster by using more CPU cores, combining steps, reducing memory reads and writes, and choosing better algorithms. Maxwell produces a machine-checked mathematical proof that each replacement preserves the original behavior, according to the post.

The post was written in partnership with the doubleAI team, which Santiago thanks for working with him on it.
