May 1, 2026May 2026 performance-focused delivery for numpy/numpy. Implemented a descending sort capability via a new descending keyword for numpy.sort and numpy.argsort, and reworked the sorting path to route through a unified API layer while preserving backward compatibility. Executed a backend refactor to C++, introducing a clear separation with npysort_methods.cpp/.hpp and a reverse template parameter to support both sort and argsort paths. Benchmarks updated to align with the new-style sort arguments (stable, descending) and include smaller dtypes, improving accuracy and comparability of performance results. Impact: enhanced user capability to sort in descending order, clearer API surface, and improved benchmarking fidelity, with groundwork laid for future SIMD optimizations and performance gains. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++, API design and refactoring, template programming, performance benchmarking, and maintainability improvements.
