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.

This page provides the instructions for working with RAPIDS on Compute Canada clusters based from a Singularity container.
