Yes, what kind of machine would you like to run on? We have an 8 core Haswell system with 64 GB of RAM that we use for Numba testing. Would...

Hmm, the typical load on that machine is zero, except when building Numba packages (average once every few days, but can be bursts of several times in a day) or...

I think strings are a reasonable exception to the no-arrow goal of fastparquet, given their ubiquity as a data type. Alternatively, how hard would it be to parse a string...

Good catch! This was left over from the VML part of Accelerate that isn't relevant to pyculib. We'll remove the cffi dependency.

Yes, they are created by hand right now. We haven't really looked at auto-generation too much, although we are certainly open to the idea.

Possibly. I would not be surprised if SnakeViz updates broke some of the javascript integration.

For now, yes. We will eventually get this in to the defaults conda channel.

Oh hey, I didn't realize you were the scikit-cuda developer! We would be very interesting in figuring out where we could collaborate, given the high overlap between our projects. To...

Yeah, I borrow the term from the Python buffer protocol: https://docs.python.org/3.6/c-api/buffer.html A GPU version of that would allow any Python package to determine the basic data type, shape, and layout...

We'd be happy to review a PR for this, and it looks like you could base it on the code in scikit-cuda.
