Tutorial: advanced topics

This tutorial goes into more detail about the internals of computations and transformations, describing how to write them.

Mako basics

Reikna uses Mako extensively as a templating engine for transformations and computations. For the purpose of this tutorial you only need to know several things about the synthax:

Most of Mako synthax is plain Python, with the set of global variables specified externally by the code doing the template rendering${expr} evaluates Python expression expr, calls str() on the result and puts it into the texta pair of <% and %> executes Python code inside, which may introduce some local variablesa pair of <
