Hands-On GPU Computing with Python

The power of GPUs

GPUs have come a long way from when they were used just for graphics applications. For decades now, their significance continues to gain attention in limitless fields of applications due to their unique advantages over traditional CPUs.

Empowered with thousands of cores, today's GPUs continue to be tapped into by both academia and industry in order to achieve amazing levels of parallelism in their research-focused applications. Massive CPU clusters can now be replaced with a few or, in some cases, just a single GPU server to deliver the same level of productivity.

GPUs have made it possible to create the next level of supercomputers to accelerate research on diverse fields. Big data can now be efficiently computed upon ...
