How can I use CUDA with Python?

You can use CUDA with Python by utilizing libraries like PyCUDA or Numba. Do you have a specific task in mind?

I want to accelerate matrix operations. Can you show me an example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Numba to accelerate matrix multiplication:

import numpy as np
from numba import cuda

@cuda.jit
def matmul(a, b, c):
    row, col = cuda.grid(2)
    if row < c.shape[0] and col < c.shape[1]:
        temp = 0
        for k in range(a.shape[1]):
            temp += a[row, k] * b[k, col]
        c[row, col] = temp

# Initialize matrices and call the kernel

Would you like more details on how to set this up?

Yes, what do I need to install to get started?

You'll need to install Numba and NumPy. You can do this using pip:

pip install numba numpy

Make sure you also have a compatible NVIDIA GPU and the CUDA toolkit installed.

Thanks! How do I check if my GPU is compatible?

You can check your GPU compatibility by visiting the NVIDIA CUDA GPUs page. It lists all supported models. You can also use the command nvidia-smi in your terminal to see your GPU details.
