Expanding and Deepening Your GPU Programming Knowledge

The aim of this book has been to build a solid foundation of GPU computing with Python. The book started by covering low-level CUDA primitives, such as kernels and streams, built up to high-level libraries, and finished with several case studies. This chapter will look at some advanced topics that may become relevant later in your GPU programming journey.

Technical requirements

To run the code in this chapter, an NVIDIA GPU with compute capability 7.5 or more is required. The CUDA Toolkit, Python 3, and a number of Python packages must also be installed. As explained in Chapter 2, it is recommended to create a pixi environment based on the pixi.lock file in the GitHub repository associated ...
