NOTE: This project is no longer receiving updates, as we think that CuPy is provides a much more complete interface to standard GPU algorithms. CuPy arrays also work with Numba-compiled GPU kernels now. We encourage you to take a look at CuPy:

Pyculib

Pyculib provides Python bindings to the following CUDA libraries:

• cuBLAS <https://developer.nvidia.com/cublas>__
• cuFFT <https://developer.nvidia.com/cufft>__
• cuSPARSE <https://developer.nvidia.com/cusparse>__
• cuRAND <https://developer.nvidia.com/curand>__
• CUDA Sorting algorithms from the CUB <https://nvlabs.github.io/cub/>__ and Modern GPU <https://github.com/moderngpu/moderngpu>__ libraries.

These bindings are direct ports of those available in Anaconda Accelerate <https://docs.continuum.io/accelerate/cuda-libs>__.

Documentation is located here <http://pyculib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>__

Installing

The easiest way to install Pyculib and get updates is by using the Anaconda Distribution <https://www.anaconda.com/download>__

::

#> conda install pyculib

To compile from source, it is recommended to create a conda environment containing the following:

• cffi
• cudatoolkit
• numpy
• numba
• pyculib_sorting
• scipy

for instructions on how to do this see the conda <https://conda.io/docs/>__ documentation, specifically the section on managing environments <https://conda.io/docs/using/envs.html#managing-environments>__.

Once a suitable environment is activated, installation achieved simply by running:

::

#> python setup.py install

and the installation can be tested with:

::

#> ./runtests.py

Documentation

Documentation is located here <http://pyculib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>__.

Building Documentation

It is also possible to build a local copy of the documentation from
source. This requires GNU Make and sphinx (available via conda).

Documentation is stored in the ``doc`` folder, and should be built with:

::

    #> make SPHINXOPTS=-Wn clean html

This ensures that the documentation renders without errors. If errors
occur, they can all be seen at once by building with:

::

    #> make SPHINXOPTS=-n clean html

However, these errors should all be fixed so that building with ``-Wn``
is possible prior to merging any documentation changes or updates.
