Portfolio Optimization with C Extensions

概要

Empowers developers to bridge the gap between Python's ease of use and C's raw performance for complex financial and scientific calculations. This skill provides a systematic framework for optimizing numerical bottlenecks—such as portfolio risk and return matrices—through rigorous input validation, memory-efficient data access, and incremental verification strategies. By following structured workflows for C extension development, it ensures that high-performance code remains numerically stable and seamlessly integrates with existing Python tools and libraries like NumPy.
