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 require having [[Anaconda/en|Anaconda]] for the installation, however 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 require having [[Anaconda/en|Anaconda]] for the installation, however Anaconda is not advised to use on the Compute Canada clusters.
