Parakeet is a runtime compiler for scientific computing in Python which uses type inference, data parallel array operators, and a lot of black magic to make your code run faster.
The performance boost is achieved by wrapping the desired function using parakeet.jit (usually via decorator).
While Numba encourages one to write the code using as many loops as possible, Parakeet encourages using NumPy style, which makes the code more compact. Reference: this presentation.

The supported NumPy functions (in the latest Parakeet version) can be found here in the function_mappings dictionary.
