CameronWhat is CuPy?
It is an open-source matrix library accelerated with NVIDIA CUDA. CuPy provides GPU accelerated computing with Python. It uses CUDA-related libraries including cuBLAS, cuDNN, cuRand, cuSolver, cuSPARSE, cuFFT and NCCL to make full use of the GPU architecture.
CuPy is a tool in the Development & Training Tools category of a tech stack.
Key Features
It's interface is highly compatible with NumPy in most cases it can be used as a drop-in replacementSupports various methods, indexing, data types, broadcasting and moreYou can easily make a custom CUDA kernel if you want to make your code run faster, requiring only a small code snippet of C++It automatically wraps and compiles it to make a CUDA binaryCompiled binaries are cached and reused in subsequent runs

CuPy Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to CuPy?
NumPy
Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases.
Pandas
Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more.
SciPy
Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It contains modules for optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, special functions, FFT, signal and image processing, ODE solvers and other tasks common in science and engineering.
