PyCUDA lets you access `Nvidia `_'s `CUDA

`_ parallel computation API from Python.

Several wrappers of the CUDA API already exist-so what's so special

about PyCUDA?

* Object cleanup tied to lifetime of objects. This idiom, often

  called

  `RAII `_

  in C++, makes it much easier to write correct, leak- and

  crash-free code. PyCUDA knows about dependencies, too, so (for

  example) it won't detach from a context before all memory

  allocated in it is also freed.

* Convenience. Abstractions like pycuda.driver.SourceModule and

  pycuda.gpuarray.GPUArray make CUDA programming even more

  convenient than with Nvidia's C-based runtime.

* Completeness. PyCUDA puts the full power of CUDA's driver API at

  your disposal, if you wish. It also includes code for

  interoperability with OpenGL.

* Automatic Error Checking. All CUDA errors are automatically

  translated into Python exceptions.

* Speed. PyCUDA's base layer is written in C++, so all the niceties

  above are virtually free.

* Helpful `Documentation `_.

Relatedly, like-minded computing goodness for `OpenCL `_

is provided by PyCUDA's sister project `PyOpenCL `_.
