Overview
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 having Anaconda for the installation, however Anaconda is not advised to use on the Compute Canada clusters. Instead, a container solution of using 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.
This page provides the instructions for working with RAPIDS on Compute Canada clusters based from a Singularity container.
