Does pymc use Numba CPU parallelization options?

[diptorupd]

I am a developer of the numba-dpex project that is extending Numba for Intel devices.

I want to understand how pymc currently uses Numba (if at all) and if there are already places where Numba's auto-parallelization is used or can be used. My goal is to explore use cases that will help drive numba-dpex's design and better understand how people use Numba auto-parallelization.

While PyMC does not use numba, PyMC's tensor library -- PyTensor -- does. So you can compile PyMC models to numba, but you won't find any reference of numba in the pymc code base. A good place to start checking it out in PyTensor might be this: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apymc-devs%2Fpytensor%20numba&type=code
Certainly feel free to ask any questions, but the pytensor discussion forum might be a better place.
