[https://rapids.ai/ RAPIDS] is a suite of open source software libraries from NVIDIA mainly for executing data science and analytics pipelines on GPUs. It relies on NVIDIA CUDA primitives for low level compute optimization and provides users with friendly Python APIs, similar to those in Pandas, Scikit-learn, etc. | |||
Since RAPIDS is available as Conda packages which requires to have Anaconda for the installation, however [[Anaconda/en|Anaconda]] is not advised to use on the Compute Canada clusters. Instead, a container solution of using [[Singularity|Singularity]] is recommended. As RAPIDS is also available as Docker container images from NVIDIA, and a Singularity image for RAPIDS can be built based from a Docker image. | Since RAPIDS is available as Conda packages which requires to have Anaconda for the installation, however [[Anaconda/en|Anaconda]] is not advised to use on the Compute Canada clusters.
