Hands-on workshops
Getting more Python Performance with Intel® optimized Distribution for Python
Jim Cownie 
The slides used during the workshops can be downloaded from RSE18_Intel_Python_Workshop.
The K-Means example used is pretty close to the one available from the scikit-learn examples at http://ogrisel.github.io/scikit-learn.org/sklearn-tutorial/auto_examples/cluster/plot_color_quantization.html.
A complex version of the Black Scholes demo is available from Intel’s Python TCEs at https://github.com/triskadecaepyon/ep2017_tutorial_tune_performance
