Description-en: Python 3 module to access Nvidia‘s CUDA API (debug extensions)
PyCUDA lets you access Nvidia‘s CUDA parallel computation API from Python.
Several wrappers of the CUDA API already exist–so what’s so special about
PyCUDA?
* Object cleanup tied to lifetime of objects. This idiom, often called
RAII in C++, makes it much easier to write correct, leak- and crash-free
code. PyCUDA knows about dependencies, too, so (for example) it won’t
detach from a context before all memory allocated in it is also freed.
* Convenience. Abstractions like pycuda.driver.SourceModule and
pycuda.gpuarray.GPUArray make CUDA programming even more convenient than
with Nvidia’s C-based runtime.
* Completeness. PyCUDA puts the full power of CUDA’s driver API at your
disposal, if you wish.
* Automatic Error Checking. All CUDA errors are automatically translated
into Python exceptions.
* Speed. PyCUDA’s base layer is written in C++, so all the niceties
above are virtually free.
* Helpful Documentation.
.
This package contains debug extensions for the Python 3 debug interpreter.
