The Integral

Abstract Introduction This is article is part of my promised ‘BSD in Production’ series. It’s a demo of the BSD stack and how I use it for Machine Learning at work. The audience will be UNIX folks, working data scientists, and DevOps engineers. I’ll unpack a little bit of the history of BSD as well as trends in software used for scientific programming. I’ll explore scientific software in detail and review benchmarking comparisons that have been done with BSD and Linux (as well as virtual machines and container technology).
