Matlab has such support and the performances gain are in the order of 2x vs 10x when addressing the GPU directly. All the time is spent in sending data back & forth. Numba is indeed a good candidate bu limited to the PTX assembly (i.e. cuda, hence nvidia hardware) Cheers, Jerome _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
