Overview of this book

GPUs are proving to be excellent general purpose-parallel computing solutions for high-performance tasks such as deep learning and scientific computing. This book will be your guide to getting started with GPU computing. It begins by introducing GPU computing and explaining the GPU architecture and programming models. You will learn, by example, how to perform GPU programming with Python, and look at using integrations such as PyCUDA, PyOpenCL, CuPy, and Numba with Anaconda for various tasks such as machine learning and data mining. In addition to this, you will get to grips with GPU workflows, management, and deployment using modern containerization solutions. Toward the end of the book, you will get familiar with the principles of distributed computing for training machine learning models and enhancing efficiency and performance. By the end of this book, you will be able to set up a GPU ecosystem for running complex applications and data models that demand great processing capabilities, and be able to efficiently manage memory to compute your application effectively and quickly.

GPU-enabled Python programming

The fundamental concept behind Python programming on GPU devices is based on what we have learned so far about CUDA, ROCm, and Anaconda. It is all about using their integrations with Python developed as PyCUDA, PyOpenCL, CuPy, and Numba, respectively.

With PyCUDA, you can use Python with NVIDIA GPUs, while with PyOpenCL, you can use NVIDIA, AMD GPUs and other massively parallel compute devices. CuPy allows you to implement NumPy like features on an NVIDIA GPU. After installing Accelerate with Conda, you can import the numba package very easily within your code to leverage your GPU device. We will explore this in detail in Chapter 8, Working with Anaconda, CuPy, and Numba for GPUs.
