PyOpenCL lets you access GPUs and other massively parallel compute
devices from Python. It tries to offer computing goodness in the
spirit of its sister project `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.

* Completeness. PyOpenCL puts the full power of OpenCL's API at
your disposal, if you wish. Every obscure ``get_info()`` query and
all CL calls are accessible.

* Automatic Error Checking. All CL errors are automatically
translated into Python exceptions.

* Speed. PyOpenCL's base layer is written in C++, so all the niceties
above are virtually free.

* Helpful and complete `Documentation `__
as well as a `Wiki `__.

* Liberal license. PyOpenCL is open-source under the
`MIT license `__
and free for commercial, academic, and private use.

* Broad support. PyOpenCL was tested and works with Apple's, AMD's, and Nvidia's
CL implementations.

Simple 4-step `install instructions `__
using Conda on Linux and macOS (that also install a working OpenCL implementation!)
can be found in the `documentation `__.

What you'll need if you do *not* want to use the convenient instructions above and
instead build from source:

* g++/clang new enough to be compatible with nanobind (specifically, full support of C++17 is needed)
* `numpy `__, and
* an OpenCL implementation. (See this `howto `__
for how to get one.)
